Normally, if a character wants to wield a one handed weapon a size category larger than they are, they have to wield it two handed with the -2 modifier. The Monkey Grip feat allows the smaller character to wield it one handed without issue...

Now does that mean, by that pattern of logic that they could wield a one handed weapon TWO size categories larger themselves with two hands with the aforementioned -2 modifier with this feat?

No. The feat does what it says it does. It lets you wield a weapon one size category larger with the same amount of effort with a -2 penalty to hit. Which is usually a pretty bad trade because +1/+2 damage isn't worth a -2 to hit.

Strongarm bracers is a much better chocie (MIC). Or Power Attack (with a -1 you may gain +3 damage).
