God fucking dammit these right wing dumbasses are really returning to scientific racism? Fucking hell any first year anthro student could tell you that while there is a measure of sexual dimorphism present in the human skeleton it varies wildly based on population/life history, it’s very common to have robust skeletons that belong to females & more gracile skeletons that belong to males! That’s why it’s called a goddamn sex estimate! It’s an educated guess at best! You just can’t use the skeleton alone to “determine” someone’s sex, that’s not how it works!!
Bigoted phrenology has always been popular in incel/redpill/blackpill forums, gradually all of this slop is leaking into the mainstream.
I was under the impression that the space between the hip bones was a pretty reliable estimate? I may be dumb (probably).
I think even the best methods are still only like 90% accurate, which could still easily hide lots of categories even of cis people in that remaining 10%
Needs to be estimated in a context of several skeletons belonging to the same group of people that died during the same period in that location. And it could still be a marginal difference or a (normal) exception. These differences can be minimal and too volatile to make certain estimates with just one sample and no population data to compare to.
What I have come to understand is for bones, it’s a game of averages. So amab bones on average might be bigger, or differently shaped or whatever than afab bones across some statistically significant sample for specific bones in specific cultural groups, as an example. Which does NOT mean that any individual bone on any individual person always fits within the expected norms of that statistical sample. That’s not how statistics work.
For example if you’re digging up bones and you find one bone, that doesn’t probably tell you much about who that bone belonged to. If you find a complete skeleton that might tell you more about that one person because you have a bunch of bones, but still isn’t 100% accurate. You can’t know everything about them with a full skeleton. If you find a pile of bones or a whole city of bones then you can probably tell something about an area or a population group for example but that doesn’t mean you can guarantee much else about any individual bone or individual set of bones either. So basically yeah we’re all different and just because you can use statistics to derive some useful information it doesn’t mean you can use those statistics to derive everything all of the time.
It’s the same shit that racists do with crime statistics or economic statistics or whatever. They look at the statistic of a group, they take it out of context for that group, and then they apply it to an individual instead of a group. It’s taking data and removing it many steps from reality to intentionally draw wrong conclusions.
So of course they’ll do it with shit like bone size or facial proportions or literally anything you can think up. It’s not science but since it is “backed by data” it feels legitimate to people who refuse to think about it.
The hip bones are one of the more reliable methods of sex estimation, but it’s still exactly that, an estimation.
Anyone who claims to be able to determine with certainty someone’s sex from their skeletal structure is either misinformed/not properly educated on the subject or knowingly misrepresenting the facts to fit into their agenda. Responsible anthropologists will always treat it as an estimate/guess and never a concrete determinism.
… is this an actual thing that human beings waste some of their finite time alive to fuckin fuss about?
I’m trying to imagine being pissed off about a green cartoon character like that, and I’m having a hard time.
What else are you supposed to think about while you wait for the judge to give his decision in your child custody case that your totally sick ass attorney which was not yourself definitely slamm dunked for you
This is what having no real community does to people
fetch me my ogre calipers I’ve got some studying to do
going to the pharmacy to pick up my prescription of squash and stretch
Females, notorious for having coneheads
No mention of the external occipotal protuberance
No mention of the glabella
No mention of the angle of the orbit
Instead some bullshit about the ratio of neuro cranium to the facial cranium, the size of the piriform aperture and a “More vertical frontal bone”
Fake fucking phrenology, take an anatomy course.
spoiler
Also literally any anatomy book will tell you that these are probabilities
Couldn’t have used similar poses?
Also, what effect would this even have?
It proves there is a secret force feminizing torture basement for ogres
They’re turning all of us trans, obviously. Can’t you see it??? Even the frogs are gay now smh my head.
His head is tilted forward and his eyebrows are lowered. We can see more forehead so obviously his skull shape must have changed
They’re comparing to human skills, not ogre skulls.
Okay is that skull on the center left even human?
The Deftones Around the Fur face
that’s what i’m saying dawg no human ever alive could achieve that typa skull, transvestigators want every man to secretly have a pussy there’s no other explanation
