Size matters :: Mmegi Online

As they say, all animals are equal but some are more equal than others, and still others considerably bigger than others. While ‘size does not matter’ is a universally preached dictum among the politically correct like yours truly, everyday experience tells us that this cannot be the whole story, under many conditions, it clearly does.

Whether anyone likes or not, size does matter. It starts from birth, the moment a baby takes their first wail their size is going to matter. It doesn’t end there, when they crawl, when they start pre-school until they finish school, their size is always going to matter.

Then there are adults. If ever size mattered anywhere, this is where it really does! Incidentally, size matters more for males than females. It doesn’t help that men are forever comparing themselves to other males, be it in locker rooms, soccer pitches, boardrooms, you name it. They will always look around and measure themselves up against the next guy. Trump said it, even coined the new word ‘bigly’ which we all assume distinguishes men from boys in locker room lingo. For a man, masculinity is everything and they are only good or big enough when they are superior to other males, and when on that tip, sometimes they don’t concede even to Tarzan! Is Tarzan real, how would I know?
