This is probably one of the most intelligent and justified questions that has been posted in a while. But unfortunately I can't give a satisfactory answer. Why is it acceptable to mock small penises (not only in the example given; also generally) whereas ridiculing any other physical feature is considered unacceptable?
Certainly, pop culture constantly suggests that it is better to have a big penis. And a small penis is unfortunately associated with lesser manhood. But what justifies being so vocal about it? I assume it is because it is one of the few "politically incorrect" jokes you can still get away with. Like other users have suggested - nobody is going to stand up and plea justice because he feels hurt by a small dick joke. Nobody runs around with their penis size printed on their t shirt. So every guy has the opportunity to "officially" laugh it off as if he were not affected. I assume that doesn't make life easier for smaller guys, especially if they already have issues because of their size. But because only a few people are actually aware of any given man's penis size; he is at least reprieved from direct public humiliation.
