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.

Didn't know we could summon him/her/it, but seems it worked. Strangeness all around.

Yes, I see you have produced a very small (re)tort, but arguably have used it well.

What's the smallest retort that can be blown? I wonder.

I didn't, and still don't, but now I wonder why you wonder.

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 ...
