Although Franz Joseph Gall made an important contribution to neuroscience proposing the functional localization of specific psychological traits, his analysis was far from correct, leading to the pseudoscientific field of phrenology.

The direct consequence of phrenology can be seen as a talking point for a specific community on the internet known as "incels" who attribute size of the body parts of man (and in many such cases, to that of women) to intelligence and strength. This is nothing but a very misogynistic argument that is the result of patriarchal capitalism.

Recent studies have found such "incel" talking points in twitter.com users to analyse politicians, and it is a future implication to research how these two areas intersect

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
