I thought my hand gesture was a chef's kiss for such a confluence of events. Not sure what you're on about.

Wtf. This is hilarious. Why are men so insecure?

[–] ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 0 points 7 hours ago

Probably because telling a man he has a small dick is okay but saying a woman has a loose pussy isn't

I'm not insecure! YOU'RE INSECURE!

that radical feminist groups have propagated these hidden messages to humiliate men with small penises

Why would radical feminists target men with small penises? They’re probably already naturally humiliated, right? It’s the big dick men who need to be taken down a notch.

Hah. Until your member gets pinched in the XL jock strap, or the dreaded dip, or the "nope, that's too deep".

It is Italian, but doesn't mean what you think it means. Wanted to look up a link for the emoji but my European search alternative only showed results for the gesture in general. So here a Wikipedia link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Che_vuoi%3F

Also, in related news, today I learned:

In Malawi, the gesture refers to human testicles (machende) in the Bantu language Chichewa.

Thanks for the info. Still the other response is quite confusing even with the conspiracy theory.

It's a sideways chefs kiss. Also, something, something, penis size.

[–] Zachariah@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

I thought it was finger banging.

[–] huppakee@lemm.ee 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I could agree it is someone holding an invisible cigarette but I have not ever seen someone do a chefs kiss with the two fingers apart or sideways, let alone both.

[–] HikingVet@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 day ago

Start of the motion. But I see where you're coming from. This seems to be a matter of perception.

[–] HikingVet@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Ah, so you're someone to ignore.

[–] remotelove@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago

I mean, sure. You do you, friend.

I don't see any seals in the picture.

Some assholes love it when you speak Italian to them
