Sigh. Reductionist thinking again. Yes, of course, if you literally say “small penis” the plaintiff would rightfully cite this history. But it’s not meant to be taken literally, like those are magic words. You say “he failed upwards, funded by family wealth and connections, despite everyone thinking he was an idiot who could barely string a sentence together” The point is to emphasize, even exaggerate, low-status negative qualities. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

It isn't the size of your tort, it is how you use it. Also, are men this easily manipulated? Yes. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

> The point is to emphasize, even exaggerate, low-status negative qualities. Or, to cite other potentially preemptive design, add enough other absurdity where someone can just say something like "It is obvious nobody would think the real would %person% impregnated Satan". | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

This sounds like exactly the kind of thing that some with a small penis would say ... | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
