Chapter 1: The Tweet That Sparked Discussion

On November 27th, 2024, at exactly 04:38 GMT, Ozzy Etomi, a self-identified feminist and co-founder of the Nigerian organization Feminist Coalition (@feminist.co), made a provocative statement on Twitter: “The penis is too jarring and ugly to be seen with no warning.”

Despite her intention, the tweet quickly gained traction on social media, largely due to Twitter's effective algorithms. Within just three hours, it had gone viral, primarily driven by the influx of comments, many from male users.

The phrase “The penis is too jarring and ugly” became the focal point for many readers, overshadowing the more nuanced aspects of her message. In fact, a staggering 90% of the men commenting seemed to overlook the remainder of her tweet entirely, resulting in a situation where the original message was essentially lost amid the uproar.

While many women resonated with Etomi's underlying message, it was primarily directed at men.

These are a few notable reactions her tweet received:

Instead of engaging with the core message, many men resorted to criticizing female anatomy, missing the essential point of her tweet.

The crux of Ozzy's message was quite straightforward: men should refrain from sending unsolicited nude photos without prior notification. Why? Because such actions can be off-putting. It appears that many men have overlooked the fact that attraction is not solely about the penis; there are other areas of the body that women find appealing—rather than just images of male genitalia.

So, it's not that your penis is unattractive; it's simply better appreciated in person rather than through a screen. No one wants to diminish the thrill of a physical encounter, except perhaps for the men who misinterpret this social nuance. Hence, it is crucial to communicate with your partner before sending intimate photos; doing so is both respectful and enticing.
