Size Matters? Peniz Dissatisfaction and Gun Ownership in America
Hill et al.
https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/15579883241255830
Abstract:
In this study, we formally examine the association between peniz size dissatisfaction and gun ownership in America. The primary hypothesis, derived from the psychosexual theory of gun ownership, asserts that men who are more dissatisfied with the size of their penizes will be more likely to personally own guns. To test this hypothesis, we used data collected from the 2023 Masculinity, Sexual Health, and Politics (MSHAP ) survey, a national probability sample of 1,840 men, and regression analyses to model personal gun ownership as a function of peniz size dissatisfaction, experiences with peniz enlargement, social desirability, masculinity, body mass, mental health, and a range of sociodemographic characteristics.

We find that men who are more dissatisfied with the size of their penizes are less likely to personally own guns across outcomes, including any gun ownership, military-style rifle ownership, and total number of guns owned.

So, how does that explain the other gender’s gun obsession? iirc, the mother of the Sandy Hook shooter was a gun nut.

Exactly. The whole psychosexual theory about gun ownership is a crock.

It is not that anyone ever needed to get out a tape ruler.

The theory is mocking people who can not stand up for themselves.

Besides the last time I got involved with 2 guys approaching 70 in a donut store both of them discussing who they would kill in a home robbery…well both of them felt stupid. Going on and on about killing someone, I asked, “Have you ever killed anyone”? There was a silence followed by the bigger ejit, “That is a loaded question”?

You have to be a fool to think you will shoot someone eventually to solve a problem.

That is happening increasingly. Used to be, if you didn’t like someone’s driving, you would mutter something, maybe make a gesture, then go on with your day. Now “road rage” incidents escalate to gun fights. People get shot over a parking space. I was in a pizza take-out waiting for my order, and noticed a female patron had a pistol in the waistband of her pants. Can’t even go out for pizza without a gun? People are nuts.

It’s good to have this burning issue settled now. Sounds like a seminal, even penetrating, study.

Could it have been truly double-blind, though?

My guess would be: those who are insufficient and are compensating would never admit to their insufficiency; while those who are similar but comfortable with their manhood do not compensate and do admit their feeling of insufficiency. So the study is truly meaningless!

I am pretty sure she was Transgender. At least that is what they are saying on Truth Social.

Apart from the study being ludicrous, all of the studies authors are from TX and FL…and the study is supported by https://menshealthnetwork.org

Color me skeptical.

“Troth Senshel”? Can’t admit that a “read blooded American mom” can be nuts, so they try to tie her to their Trans boogyman?

Steve…you can’t see it, but I’m laffing

Truth Social has the experts on cross-dressing and cutting off their own weenies.

Oh so they studied states with extremely undersized weenies to begin with.

Isn’t there a microbe that attacks the male parts when holding a gun. You catch it if you swim in the Gulf. I read that on social truth because it was backwards.

Actually, it was based on a national survey.

Bob, do your best to buy in.

Keep telling yourself whatever you need to.
