I think there might be wires crossing in the convo.
I don't think it's right or ok to insult someone based on who are what they are, at all. But I also don't let every negative comment about those things impact me. If someone starts attacking my looks in an argument that means I'm winning and I press harder, I don't get upset about it.
I think the small dick thing, in a sense, is like calling people "gay" when they mean "weird" or whatever. Is it right? Hell no, but I don't let it bother me if someone calls me gay, I pretend I am and I own it. Take away their power from saying that dumb shit.
People are always going to say fucked up shit, trying to stop that will just give you high blood pressure. I think it's better to disarm those things and not let it effect you, then the weight behind those words start to fade.
