Spare a thought, then, for poor old Peter Andre, whose penis became the surprise feature of yesterday’s trial between Rebekah Vardy and Coleen Rooney. For his part, Peter Andre seemed to see the funny side and responded with: “But the way I look at it, most people saw in the jungle how an acorn turned into an oak so I think I’m ok.” But it’s a shame that this pernicious cultural myth is still being peddled so widely. Why are we still perpetuating this noxious, sexist idea that the size of a man’s penis bears any relation to their perceived masculinity? Making jokes on social media may trivialise the significance of our continued obsession with penis size, but it doesn’t do anything to address the problem of toxic masculinity represented by the celebration of large penises.
