I don’t know if this is a rant or more of a personal feelings post. I don’t want to come off as nagging or anything like that, but I really hate the double standards around social media and societal culture in general.

When you ask the general population, they’re often like, "You’re fine, you’re average," and that’s great—it’s heartwarming. But when you look at society’s actions, it’s a different story. For example, when a celebrity’s picture or movie comes out, and the person is larger, people compliment them, find it “manly,” or even joke about how powerful they are.

It gets even more disturbing when you see mothers on social media making similar comments about their babies. I’ve witnessed conversations where women comment on a baby’s size in a way that sexualizes the child. Not only is it weird, but it's also deeply uncomfortable—not because of size, but because of the concept of sexualizing a baby at all.

What confuses and scares me is society’s mixed messages. If size doesn’t matter, why is there such a cultural reaction around it? If it does matter, why do we keep insisting it doesn’t? I’ve seen men much larger than me who are still insecure and stressed about it, and it makes me wonder—what is really happening here?

Why does society judge masculinity and penis size more harshly than we’re willing to admit in personal conversations? Why is penis size considered an achievement or a sign of superiority, when so many people claim it doesn’t matter? And why are mothers so concerned about their child's genitals to the point that it becomes a social conversation?

Are we, as a society, devaluing men this way?
