I do not understand the fuss. Is it not well-known that the number, size and power of cars, boats, planes, guns, any and all of the above owned by any given 'man' (and I use the term purely in its biological sense) is inversely proportional to the perceived dimensions and potency of his wedding tackle?

As to body-shaming. I can only offer this recent anecdote. My youngest granddaughter, Lottie, is a sturdy little person, unafraid to speak her mind, but somewhat lacking in vertical presence. Her mother, aware that an increasing number of young males are approaching the six feet mark by the age of eleven, asked her if any of the bigger boys at school had ever teased her about her lack of inches. Upon getting a reply in the negative, Jen asked if such teasing would upset her. Lottie, in the tone of one stating the obvious to an idiot, replied "Mummy, I know that if his hands are higher than my head, my teeth are level with his penis!"
