Ms. Altered, don't ya know that women can't measure, don't really know their own orgasm and that we all lie just to make men feel better?
i think the horrible measurement reporting has something to do with the female inability to read maps.
:tongue1:

I think I can understand how annoying it must be for women to be demeaned by sexist assumptions like this. However as far as the specific issue of penis size is concerned (which I assume is at the heart of a lot of the comments you're alluding to) I can kind of understand why many of us men do a double take at some of the claims we read from female members. I can't be the only one who is totally perplexed at the sheer number of women here, on the web and occasionally in real life, who claim to have slept with 8+ long and 6+ thick penises and so on, when every reputable survey ever conducted suggests that these kinds of sizes are very rare - let alone freakishly big sizes like 10" x7. Often I read such things as
"oh,my husband/boyfriend is ONLY" 7", my last two boyfriends were 8" and 9" ".
The chances of the average woman experiencing this combination of partners is extremely small. I accept that SOME women will genuinely have come across this combination of partners, but SOME women will win thousands of pounds on the lottery - I'm pretty sure if people were fairly routinely regaling us with tales of their huge wins, instead of their partners' huge penises, we'd be questioning their ability to count properly.
Of course it is possible that people aren't measuring in the most commonly used method in surveys - i.e
directly along the top,
standing-up straight (measuring not that far off centre, or sitting down can add 1/2 an inch or more) and without pressure for non-bone pressed, digging to the pubic bone for bone-pressed. After all judging by some of the measuring threads on here there are enough men who measure in the most favourable way possible, so it's not strictly a gender thing.
I don't know the history of Altered Ego and Wolf's interaction on this board, so there might be something I'm missing, but I took Wolf's comments in a similar vein - i.e surprise at the size of Altered Ego's hands. I think she's something like 93rd percentile for a woman (assuming she is a woman). IIRC that's a similar percentile to a 7-7.5 inch (bone pressed) penis, so her hands certainly ain't small. On that basis I assumed he was simply saying "wow, are you sure you measured right?". That doesn't seem particularly offensive, although as I say, there may be something in the past that I'm unaware of.
