//As I stood there coughing, eyes streaming, lungs on fire, watching cops lose their goddamn minds over a dildo, I realized something sacred and stupid and true: You can’t baton your way out of satire. You can’t gas a punchline. And you absolutely cannot maintain authority while tear-gassing people over a rubber dick.//

Aren't there any pictures of the chaos? I just see smiling protesters posing with dildos and feds standing in a line.

What I noticed the last days is how it‘s a-ok to insult small men, ugly men and small dicks, as long as the recipients are evil or not well liked.

It shows you what society really thinks about men with those undesirable attributes.

EDIT: Point proven. People really don‘t feel ANY empathy for the short, small dicked and ugly onlookers, listeners and readers.

If you don't have the equipment for love, then maybe your place is in war? It really isn't the size, it's how you use it!

It's generally a-ok to insult anyone as long as the recipients are evil or not well-liked.

Kinda comes with the being evil or not well-liked territory.

> It shows you what society really thinks about men with those

I think you're missing a rather big part of what's actually happening, which is that it says nothing about the insulter's feelings about dicks and everything about the insultee's feelings about dicks. The entire reason it's viewed as an effective insult is because it's the sort of thing that the ICE members themselves, who appear in every moment to be of the most fragile-in-their-masculinity caliber, would feel insulted about. What the dick chuckers believe about dicks is quite unrelated.

> it‘s a-ok to insult...as long as the recipients are evil

Um. Is this in question?

I've been party to arguments between different groups of progressive feminists where one group was gleefully using these kinds of masculinity-impugning insults against their right-wing political enemies; and the other group was admonishing them not to do that or at least feeling conflicted about it, grounded in intersectional feminist argumentation that insults based on small penises and physical ugliness harm marginalized people and uphold conventional beauty standards.

In at least one argument of this kind I've been party to, one of the people most prominently in the latter camp was a fairly short trans man, who had not taken enough T to be clearly distinct from a butch lesbian. I imagine he was not super happy about dick-sized-based insults.

A web search turned up incidents of dildo protests at UTexas and in Oregon. Not Minnesota. [0] Could this actually be fiction?

One report I found was quite the opposite:

ICE Goons Tear Down Pro-Immigration Banner and Leave Sex Toy on Display [1]

I remain, a seeker of truth.
