    Oh, just like they did in Nazi Germany back then, measuring skulls to find inferior people. They called it “Rassenhygiene” back then. It is amazing to see how many Nazi Germany ideas they unearth and recycle in the US nowadays.

    Those two skull outlines just look like they were photographed with a different focal length or something. There is no way skull morphology is this strongly affected by sex.

      Yeah… Like there’d be a bit more credence if the guy was going after the pelvis but… You’d have to either xray or extract the pelvis for that.

        Even then there’s so much overlap in human dimorphism that it’s not an exact science, there’s still like a 5-10% error rate in sexing perfectly preserved pelvic bones. Accurate enough for anthropology, but that’s a big error rate to apply to individuals.

          that’s my favorite fact for the “YoUr SkEleToN iS mAle!!1!” crowd. Also I’d be dead then, I won’t a shit if some teenagers put my skull in a bowling ball, much less being actually used for archeological research that benefits humanity lol

    At school we had a thing where if your ring finger was longer than your index finger then it meant you were a bummer. Never mind the fact that you can change that with slight angling of the hand.

    This is what those kids are doing now.

    I love their little diagrams showing us just how fucking wrong they are.

    “That’s a female skull! (As long as you ignore 40% of the bone mass)”

      What stops you from doing the same to them. This is the funniest shit. Why don’t we work. This is how deep they go and we’re like “I’m tired I’m so sweepy guys why can’t the other swide jus pway nice”

      pirate some photo shop. Drink a couple beers and fucking troll. What happened to the left being comedians and artists. Too busy selling feet pics?

      Let’s fucking go.

        There’s no consistency to their beliefs. You cannot “gotcha” them by pointing out hypocrisy, it in fact makes them happier.

        People are tired because there’s literally no winning with tactics like that. The idiotic tactics on display in the OP aren’t about realistically “winning” the culture war. It’s just sowing so many nonsense weeds that any reasonable discussion is choked off of the vine. When you allow inanity like “male/female skull assignment” as a platform instead of “simply being correct”, the whole game goes down the toilet. It’s now just “who can shout the loudest and the longest and into the most ears directly”. That’s not a race with a finish line, it’s the cultural equivalent to a “last person shitting” contest and these motherfuckers are full of shit.

        If you have a mind to think, you can only turn it off so long. And when the reasonable person does switch theirs back on, they’ll eventually have to contend with the mess.

            It’s true. I have been told by many women my head looks quite phallic. Every one that’s told me that has been too impressed to date me. I didn’t expect it to affect even my online interactions.

            Suffering from success…

          The only correct response is clearly to laugh at them, degrade them, and then slam a metal folding chair over their head. From there it’s up to you if ya want to steal their wallet and piss on them.

        There’s no winning against them fighting fire with fire. They’re masters of this stuff. Of double speak, hypocrisy, avoiding accountability, distraction, and so forth. I don’t want to fight just to fight. I want to fight to win.

        I agree with you that a fight must be fought. But, maximizing efficiency, what exactly is the fight?
