"In Nebraska Law Review: Bulletin, Professor Michael Conklin writes that the use of the small penis rule would be ineffective to defend against defamation lawsuits. The reasons given are that the statement that a person has a small penis can be taken as defamatory in itself; the use of the rule is effectively an admission that defamation did occur"

But it's not about a legal defense. It's trying to convince the potential plaintiff not to file for fear that the public will associate them with having a small penis
