Why can you push one end of a drawing pin in but not the other?

If you use the larger side of the push pin, you are spreading the force out, therefore making the pressure lower. However, if you use the smaller part of the push pin, the force is concentrated on one spot, making the pressure much, much higher, because if a you apply force on a smaller surface area, you get a larger pressure.
