Problem is that this legitimizes their belief that there are set characteristics that define people as “manly.”
Every 30 years or so we make some sort of social progress for women and/or LGBT people, and then a panic ensues that society is trying to destroy manliness. The Joe Rogans and Andrew Tates of the world suddenly pop up and start selling their nonsense that will magically make them the man’s men that their grandfathers were (while in fact their grandfathers were being told the same thing.)
The solution to this isn’t to tell the loud whiners that their exact fears are true. It’s to divorce ourselves from the notion that being a man is determined by penis/testicle size, or even by having them at all. By telling the bigots that their worst fears are true, we’re tacitly endorsing their bigotry as legitimate, when we should be doing the exact opposite of that.
Testicle size and reproductive potency are entirely unrelated to penis size, for all the men out there. And if you only ever have one partner at a time that you want to make babies with, you don’t really need to be a super stud in the testicle department. You just need regular sexual contact with your lady half.
But this shows that even if you do want all the ladies, large testicles don’t matter.
(Aside; people with breeder fetishes who impregnate multiple women are fucking gross and weird. Musk is one such and just.. eew.)
In primates small testicle size is correlated with how many males a female typically mates with. More males mating with the same female means the male that produces the most sperm has an advantage. So gorillas have tiny balls because every troop only has one silverback male, and chimps have horrifically huge nuts because there’s a lot of competition for mates from other males in the troop.
Interestingly, humans fall roughly in the middle of the scale in terms of ball size!
I'm conflicted because I love cars and how they work (including EVs!!!) but also don't entirely love how loud they can be.
I got a GR Corolla which has a little tiny 3 cylinder engine, but it's so loud on cold starts. Luckily I live in the woods, because I would feel so bad cold starting it in a neighborhood.
I'm conflicted because I love my car, but can also appreciate how cars just don't have to be so loud that they give you temporary deafness as they drive by. Unfortunately with internal combustion, louder generally equals better flow in the exhaust which equals more power.
Don't be ashamed. Embrace the beautiful roar of your mighty little three-cylinder nugget. Let The raucous tones flow through your veins and release that sweet sweet dopamine when you jam the throttle pedal to the floor.
Enjoy it! You could be driving another fun car with a completely boring sounding engine (cough FL5 cough) with almost no good sounding exhausts that aren’t just noise.
This makes me sad. I installed a loud as fuck exhaust on my car, but it broke sound limits at the track so I had to get a quieter setup. Mostly I’m sad because of my tiny penis tho.
Is there a right millennium? The end of the first millennium had people believing that the tick-over would cause the apocalypse, with all computers everywhere immediately detonating, and the whole economy rendered valueless dust.
ah yes another guy with cave men mentality where humans are judged based on primal stuff, you know humans evolved and got civilised right? you know they are more than animal right?
Look, I don't want to disagree with your point.... But I can't stand by as you suggest that we evolved from cave men.... We may have created civilisations, but we've not evolved into a civilized creature... We're still as uncooked as were 60k years ago.
