First, yes, Terrence Howard is an abusive asshole, but body shaming anybody, male or female, and regardless of what kind of person they might be otherwise, is juvenile and offensive in the extreme.

Second, in any case, he's flaccid in the video, and one really cannot tell how large or small he might be when aroused based on seeing him in a flaccid state. So besides being juvenile and offensive, the bit about his penis size is also incredibly ignorant.

His body particularly his fists have done a lot of damage to women. That is also not cool. 951-Riverside May 2015 #21

First of all, he's over 6 feet tall. Why refer to him as a "small" man. dawg May 2015 #28

He *is* a small man. Not talking about physical size...... WillowTree May 2015 #40

Why should being small be such an ultimate insult? dawg May 2015 #43

In this particular context, yes, I am. WillowTree May 2015 #47

Well, I don't particularly mean to call you out over it. It is the common usage after all. dawg May 2015 #69

Got it, body shaming is cool if it is directed at men. EOM Kurska May 2015 #54

No, I agree that body-shaming is wrong. Example: John Boehner. DetlefK May 2015 #60

If you oppose body shaming, why are you supporting it in this thread? Kurska May 2015 #62

I just thought that the quote did fit. DetlefK May 2015 #68

No, those are lame excuses. Jamastiene May 2015 #109

It's not the crying that I find body-shaming regarding Boehner. BreakfastClub May 2015 #106
