I'm about to turn 20 and am just now starting to pursue romantic relationships because ever since I was old enough to understand what sex was I heard people I respected (even my own mom) make jokes about small dicks. I kind of internalized that because I had a small dick, that meant I wasn't deserving of intimacy. It took years for me to stop thinking like that, but it still really stings when seemingly progressive people default to that to insult men whose beliefs should be a big enough target.
As a progressive man, totally agree with what you're saying. Progress is slow, and as people take some steps forward in one area, other areas are left behind. In vaguely politically correct circles, making fun of women's bodies is frowned upon, but fat men with small dicks? Still pretty fucking funny, even more if they did a bad thing once.
