Literal violence from the guardian

It's from 2013 - simpler times. Can you even imagine this being published today?

I love Dean Burnett.

Wonder if they've quietly pensioned him off for believing "epur si move"

He's brilliant. My favourite bit:

GENETICS

Male and female brains actually differ right down at the genetic level in quite a drastic way. Studies reveal that typically EVERY CELL in the male brain contains a Y chromosome. Quite alarmingly, female brains usually contain no Y chromosomes at all! This lack of a Y chromosome has many obvious physical effects, but most women still manage to lead normal, cognitively-unimpaired lives despite this clear deficit in the very DNA of their brains. Research into how they manage this is ongoing.

The TRAs were already out on force in the comments.

I read that bit twice before I realised it was satire. What a time to be alive.

It's Hillarious, I love it!

Male brains are connected to a penis and female brains are connected to vaginas 😂😂😂 TRA would have a right hiss fit if that was published today!

Oh yes, some genius explaining that female brains have been found in formerly male bodies, and surgery is offered to transgender people precisely because you can change the body but not the brain. Or something. FFS.

Bloody hell, just read the comments. Most people apparently managed to read the entire article without realising it was a joke.

This comment:

Is it impossible for pompously "superior' science loving "modernity" to accept that there are actual hard-wired differences between the male and female brains, and still feel that one gender shouldn't disparage/enslave the other?

No. Globally and historically, no. Male brain = blue, female brain = pink ends 100% of the time with men = power, women = domestic slave.

So stfu random commenter from 6 years ago.

Oh, he's the guy who wrote 'The Idiot Brain'! Really liked that.

Thank you. Being a woman, I discerned this intuitively but lacked the higher reasoning to define it logically.

Oh! Sniggering has erupted
