Depends upon what exactly the joke is. Small dick energy can be derisive and scornful but they can also poke at phallocentrism.

Usually height comments are dismissive of a stereotype. Funny thing is, it's usually a shared stereotype, but it's a false one in the case of women. Let me break that down.

Generally speaking, men are obsessively anxious about their height. They are convinced that women only date tall men, which they have defined as 6 ft.

Funny thing is, women do have a mild preference for taller men but for them that means taller than they are, not 6 ft.

If you're a woman who is 5'2", any guy who's 5'3" meets your height criteria.

Again, broadly and generally speaking, that's how it works. And going for a walk through town and taking a look around will easily confirm this fact. Lot of guys out there shorter than 6 ft walki g sround happily and easily coupled.

But it never matters how much you prove this to men who are constantly making insufferable asses of themselves online ofver this fear and anxiety, are there are multiple very easy ways to disprove the stereotype, it keeps coming back around.

The same guys you walk through just how dumb and untrue it is....you'll see a short time later repeating it again in a different space. Time and time again.

We've all also had crushes on or dated a short man who was mentally and emotionally torqued up about his height. They're reactive about it, like a dog that's been abused will snap at you when you try to pet it.

So out of frustration, we have a return to dismissiveness joking of the stereotype. Because we're being falsely accused ad nauseum infinitum and it's well past women thin.
