because women invented "small dick energy"
harsh, sad. but we go jim🗿
The female equivalent is
"Loose Pussy Energy".
The typical man-hate hypocrisy commonly going around is beyond obvious.  And it is an attack on All men and boys not just some. >

No one has ever said this >

Yeah I think that's the point >

Oh  it is they just don't care   there is no context to justify this because if you used an insecurity of another group like women or trans people, even if the person you are criticising is a shitty human being , people would absolutely lose their shit , vaush tried it with J.K Rowling even thou the intention wasn't misogynistic and it was supposed to be ironic no one let that slide because according to them it doesn't matter its still misogyny, which says alot considering the people defending Gretha tweet  are usually very intolerant of that behavior >

Of course, saying "small dick energy" is offensive. It's supposed to be. That's how INSULTS work, you insult people to make them feel bad.
"Loose pussy energy" is also an insult. We don't normally use that, but there are plenty of insults for women as well.
Maybe the key here is that insulting people in general is not exactly cool >

I think telling Andrew Tate that he is a delusional, misogynistic moron is absolutely fine and totally cool.
I think indicating he is a lower life form because he might have a particular body part that is a particular size is really insensitive to all other people who might also have that particular size on that particular body part. The size of one's penis does not determine their worth as a person, and telling someone they have a small penis should not inherently be an insult. It's strictly body shaming. >

I totally agree. >

So you agree that Andrew Tate is delusional, misogynistic moron? Good. Glad that’s cleared up. >

I never said that, im not weighing in on that debate, I just said that I dont mind people using those words at insults. >

What does totally mean to you then? >

OP is saying that if you don’t like something about someone, insult them directly about that thing you don’t like. It’s not necessary to insult them using a body part or characteristic that’s completely irrelevant to the situation. Imagine how mad women would get if people used “fat woman energy” to insult women they didn’t like for whatever reason. >

But people do insult women based on their body all the time.
All insults are immoral if you're strict about it. But they're also a normal part of social interaction. To argue that Greta's insult was in any way especially hurtful to men or whatever is laughably absurd. >


But people do insult women based on their body all the time.

Sure but that doesn’t make it right. 

All insults are immoral if you’re strict about it

Not necessarily if the insult is valid, which is why I said that insults should directly be targeted towards the characteristic you’re trying to insult. Like if Andrew Tate is hating on women, calling him misogynistic is not immoral. >

What is "valid" supposed to mean here? Calling Tate misogynistic is not an insult, that's a criticism. An "insult" is something that has no truth value. That is something designed to attack a person as such, without reference to their actions or views.
Calling someone an "asshole" is not an actual judgement on any factual claim about someone's butt. And "small dick energy" doesn't actually reference Tate's dick size, which obviously Greta doesn't know about.
It's kinda insane that we're discussing this. The only reason it's even a topic is because Greta wrote it. >

Am I allowed to comment if I actually agree? People say that it only hurts if you’re insecure about your size, as if that’s a moral failing. Being insecure is more to do with a trauma history or early neglect, and does not make you a bad person. Being unkind (like Andrew Tate) does make you a person behaving badly however. Leftists - please be consistent! >

I'm confused by this thread. Either this subreddit is way more right leaning than I thought, or these people honestly don't know anything about left leaning morals. 
This is the same reason why we condemn racist insults. We don't want to target large groups of people just for an insult. Retard has gotten backlash for the possibility of hurting the mentally disabled communities. 
Small dick energy is a callused insult. >

Honestly there’s no way around it. You can’t make the case that saying “small dick energy” is ok without having to immediately throw out a lot of the complaints made against Andrew Tate. There’s really nowhere to go with this one. I’m hoping what we’re seeing in this thread is just because it’s CMV >

The phrase “small dick energy” isn’t ridiculing the physical size of the penis. The phrase is ridiculing the stereotype of a man who overcompensates due to his insecurity about his penis size.
A man with a small penis but who doesn’t try to overcompensate does not qualify as “small dick energy.” Rather, he just has a small penis.
“Loose pussy energy” is not ridiculing the vagina per se, it is ridiculing the behavior — having sex with many men — that is perceived to lead to a loose vagina (to be clear, a loose vagina due to frequent sex is wholly fictitious). 
So, in sum:

Small dick energy = criticizing the behavior of toxic masculinity 
Loose pussy energy = criticizing the behavior of having sex with many men (akin to calling a woman a whore or slut) >

On the contrary I think the phrase "small dick energy" reinforces toxic masculinity. This even helps the anti feminist/ incel ideology gain more traction seeing how there's a modern cultural bias in body shaming.
Edit:grammar >


modern cultural bias in body shaming

I don’t even know what this means. >

Modern cultural values of progress, gender equality are lost on insults to men based on their physical attributes that they can't control ( penis size, height etc). I don't care when two randos are insulting each other with it but when prominent influential figures do it with millions of followers and without any major backlash it just normalizes it. >

She wasn’t criticizing his penis size. She was criticizing his personality. >

The insult was based on penis size. She equated men who have small penis with personality traits that are undesirable. Its funny how people are not understanding that when it literally says.. "Small dick energy" >

Men who overcompensate due to a small penis size absolutely deserve criticism. Men who have a small penis do not deserve criticism. >

You don't know most men's penis size so any reference to it is speculation and an attempt to de-maculate them. 
So unless you know specifically the size of said member, the phrase is meant as an insult to all men. >

I don't think anyone is arguing it's not offensive. I'm pretty sure she was trying to offend insecure men. Apparently with great success. >

She was trying to offend men who were insecure about their body image?
How is that not body shaming? >

It is, but we playing the avoidance and rationalization game
