A US man who has staked the uncontested claim of having the smallest penis in the world says he has booked a procedure to enhance his member at least somewhat after soliciting the online public’s financial support for that purpose.

In a brief interview on Saturday, 38-year-old Michael Phillips described himself as “really thankful and surprised” over the GoFundMe platform users who supported his campaign for help to pay for the procedure in question.

“I … never thought anyone would care enough to help,” said Phillips, who has previously explained that the procedure should relieve him of urinary issues resulting from his being only 0.38in (0.97cm) long even when wholly tumescent. “[I am] extremely grateful.”

    It’s not okay, no matter the context. Not saying anyone should be making fun of his disability. I know it causes him many other health issues and I’m glad he’ll get help with those but unsolicited dick pics are not okay regardless.

          Now, usually I heavily agree with the feminist POV. This world was built to keep men empowered over women, no denying that.

          However, I’m gonna have to side with the above. Public mockery of the fella is getting as involved as it’s possible to get.

          One can’t attempt to gain social standing at his expense then claim offense when he fights back in the only way he can.

            Your argument makes it okay for dudes to send unsolicited dick pics anytime a person says they have a small penis or are compensating in some way.

            Sexual harassment is not acceptable. Period.
