This took me a long time to figure out so I’m very sympathetic.
One way political people bring attention to bad politics is to body shame. The intent is to bring energy to the shaming. This is to wake up all the non-political people by being funny or hateful. These emotions travel farther than just facts.
The side effect is that some people walk away thinking the body shaming is the point. It isn’t.
It sucks that the facts aren’t enough, but that is the world we live in.
So it’s not that micropenises are bad. It’s that Trump is bad and it is the common thought that micro penises are bad or funny or inadequate. Just because it’s common thought though doesn’t mean it’s true.
If I read this reply as an honest question I would say, unfortunately yes, as long as they’re doing fascist things.
If I read this reply as a gotcha attempt, I would say I am a fat man and I would say yes. Fascism is a disease of the state. People are going to die, and some people will catch strays.
The sooner we wake up to the fact that there are political problems that need to be solved the sooner we can stop doing this horrible stuff.
anytime anyone talks about abigail shapiro they mention her “mommy milkers”, and one of the biggest criticisms of terfs you’ll see is “lol they all look like old hags”
like, these women are heinous, yet people still primarily use misogyny to attack them…
If I had to guess, I think the user you replied to would agree that your example is also morally wrong and strategically counterproductive. It seems like that was their point.

Would it be fair game to call out female politicians for being fat or their flabby labbies?

absolutely, and if that’s their point, i fully agree
my point is that you can’t really say “but what if people did this to women also?” because there is no if. people do that to women, all the time
Yes if they made fun of for example disabled people themselves.
