This question has been around for a while but I'm curious as to your answer

Yaay, another day, another person making fun of a medical condition and linking it to macho behaviour.

"Small penis" is a euphemism/metaphor to describe men who act like obnoxious douchebags because they're compensating for some undisclosed physical/psychosocial/emotional insecurity.

Can anyone provide reasons why men intentionally equip their cars with ear-damaging, bone-rattling, illegal decibels of obnoxious maddening noise? This accomplishes nothing for them other than everyone hating them and labeling them as douchebags. People like that are the reason I intentionally do not own a gun because I would lose control with it the first time a car like that comes within my sight.

I know what the euphemism stands for. But reverse the situation, put small tits somewhere in the sentence and suddenly it's big bad.

Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one who tries to imagine what people will feel like when reading stuff. And I'm imagining a guy whose only "crime" is having been born with a small penis and having to constantly read how that makes him a macho.

Why does everyone forget how to behave when it comes to men? Y'all are being quite disgusting.

Nah if someone was being a douche because they were compensating for a lack of tits, I'd say they're in the small tits club.

As it stands though, it's just kind of the saying because of some random cultural thing that dates back to at least Shrek probably. (Don't judge me for my timeframe)
