Transphobic sex-purists think the perfect male/female bodies are built like Disney characters

[–] end_stage_ligma@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago

but what about the Green M&M?

[–] JustJack23@slrpnk.net 12 points 8 hours ago

That's their research material

[–] Kazumara@discuss.tchncs.de 18 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Tattorack@lemmy.world 7 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] absentbird@lemm.ee 1 points 20 minutes ago

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.

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)"

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 9 hours ago

literally just the skulls of disney characters

We need a cultural revolution because who the fuck in their American minds decided this?

THE UNPROMISING RACE PUPIL RETURNS

[–] andros_rex@lemmy.world 37 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago) (1 children)

Stupidest science ever. How do you even read bullshit like this? Maybe I should probe for a bulge where “criticism” is.

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 9 hours ago

it's real, you can confirm it by denting their skull in the area associated with "reasoning, causality, planning" and observe them fall insensate to the ground

That's right! The skull goes in the square hole

Guess what... The media is not even covering this!!!

[–] yesman@lemmy.world 165 points 22 hours ago (28 children)

After the advent of DNA testing, many anthropologists and archeologists were embarrassed because skeletal remains were missexed.

Even my A&P textbook had this garbage in it. It claimed racial difference in the skull and sex difference in the Hip bones. But it's bullshit. The most reliable way to sex a skeleton is with DNA.

'The Mismeasure of Man' by Gould is a fascinating history of bio-determinism and psudoscientific attempt to measure it.

[–] qarbone@lemmy.world 16 points 11 hours ago

The most reliable way to sex a skeleton is to be interested in what they're interested in, and not say stuff like "ay, babey, you'd looked better with more meat on those bones!" Otherwise, just ride the vibe and see where the mood takes you.

[–] arrow74@lemm.ee 47 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Archaeologist here, maybe it's just new wave training but widely taught that it's not an easy task to sex skeletons on morphology alone.

Sure some features appear more commonly amongst men and some more commonly amongst women, but there is considerable overlap.

Pelvis are generally identifiable, but the bio-archaeologists I know prefer to say the skeleton displays female characteristics without providing a definitive biological sex. They have to have some great evidence before claiming for certain.

Also fun fact, you can't measure this morphology when there's still skin and muscle fucking attached.

The show Bones had a lot of weirdness, but I did appreciate that they consistently (at least the first few seasons when I was watching) stripped the bones down and even had a bug guy on staff to do it efficiently.

I mean I get it. Impossible to tell without skeletal boobs.

Oh, we're back to measuring skulls lmao

This one always makes me laugh because I have known guys like him with that exact smug look on their face and similar worldviews and none of them had their lives together.

Same energy as the boy wolf girl wolf post, lol.

Inside of you there are two wolves. One looks like a fox with owl makeup and the other like a puck-nosed shepherd dog with strabism.

Does this imply women have bigger brains?
