HumorWaving your pinky
This is my desperate attempt to popularize this action my mom told me about when I was just a baby teen, 13. I had been being bullied by a pathetic boy because he was mad at my brother. Don't ask but this happened often, I was always being judged for something my brothers did by peers like in school n church n everywhere. anyway, one day my mom got fed up with him after seeing me crying about some things he said to me and grabbed the phone from my hands to call this 14 or 15 yr old dude up and chew him the fuck out about it. I just remembered her repeating loudly "SHE IS NOT HER BROTHER. SHE IS NOT (BROS NAME)" and hearing meek little oks and yes ma'am from the other end of the call.
So she then tells me what to do if he tries to bother me in person, or any boy really. You ready for this? She tells me to do this; holds just her pinky up, rest of hand in a fist, waves her pinky and says "you're overcompensating for something"
I had never heard of or seen that before and to this day it cracks me tf up and is something I use often. By often, I mean on the road, like when those HUGE trucks dickheads are on the road driving like assholes, or a dude is excessively revving his engine or speeding, I try to make eye contact, hold up the pinky and wiggle it while smiling
Anyway happy women's day I hope you can find times to use this gesture in your own lives, against aggressive men or misogynistic or sexist men, or overly sexual men, you name it. I thought it was hilarious even if almost no dude understands what I'm doing when I do it.
There was a road safety ad on Australian TV that used the pinky gesture for when a young man revved his car and drove dangeously.
I have never liked this insult, tbh
Unless you’ve dated the man , they know you don’t know
All it does is compliment big donged men
and insult smaller donged men
Any many assholes think they have big ones and it just flatters them.
There’s a lot of racist stereotypes in nothing directions
My ex was small, and was the kindest man I have ever known
Every single time someone made that joke to anyone, it hurt him
It’s also non-specific body shaming
Plus it can be a medical condition
You are reaching severely hard if you actually think having a micropenis or medically smaller penis is what I'm referring to or mocking here. You are reaching very hard all around and it isn't that deep. Racist,? Really? Give me a break
Men with what THEY feel are smaller dicks will often overcompensate attempting to be more "masculine" and "manly" than other men and that often includea plain misogyny or sexism towards women. Men will also overcompensate that way by buying larger, louder vehicles because "masculine". This behavior is even present in TiFs trying to appear more li ke men ffs
Are you actually offended right now over me mocking violent/aggressive men with a gesture I made clear almost nobody even knows the meaning of? That my mom suggested doing so to male BULLIES? I hope you know as well that these men you're desperately trying to defend because (?????) would quite literally never do the same for you.
Sorry I'm not trying to be rude but I'm actually so amused right now. Oh no not body shaming the men! The humanity! :( I'm fine with them doing it to women since the dawn of humanity but one woman retaliating by waving a pinky in a dudes general direction? That's where I draw the line! Come on girl. I expect this behavior anywhere else but not here
Actually, I think I know where the disconnect is
When a man is being an asshole, I don’t care about his feelings and would enjoy seeing him hurt
To me, making ’small dick’ an insult, it hurts all men with small dicks…and may even compliment the man who is being awful
I’m not the best at explaining things
Dick size insults were very common when I grew up, often males doing it to each other. They made a lot of boys lives miserable in gym class
They would also accuse each other of being secretly gay
Maybe that’s why I have a different connotation to it, where it’s shaming men with small penises or gay men, when this asshole may not be affected by either
I’ve never said it was ok to body shame women
And yes, the insult is used racially against certain groups of men
The ex I was talking about talked about this as he was part of that group
😂😂😂 The smiling part sent me omg
