Stellar reporting from the post, as always.

Did Hitler really have a ‘micropenis’? The dubious documentary analysing the dictator’s DNA

They can't even get the definition of micropenis right.

...the definition of micropenis was accepted as a penile length smaller than 2.5 standard deviations (SD) below the mean... Penile length should be measured when the penis is fully stretched...

Maybe we should stop bodyshaming men and all the short cock cuties (not hitler) won't get complexes about it.

You don't hear shit like "genocidal asshole who hated kittens had normal penis."

On the one hand, it is interesting and possibly valuable to know what abnormal conditions a world figure had. It could make people with similar conditions more comfortable with themselves in society at large.

On the other, I don't know if many people benefit from knowing Hitler's downstairs details. He's a bad guy to most, and genital abnormalities didn't seemingly have anything to do with his actions. One might say he was insecure and aggressive as a result, but that's speculative and ignores mountains of other verfiable "reasons" Hitler was an asshole.
