Reminds me of "The Conceptual Penis as a Social Construct", my favorite hoax paper. https://www.skeptic.com/downloads/conceptual-penis/23311886.... [pdf] And the breakdown of the hoax: https://www.skeptic.com/reading_room/conceptual-penis-social... An excerpt: > We conclude that penises are not best understood as the male sexual organ, or as a male reproductive organ, but instead as an enacted social construct that is both damaging and problematic for society and future generations. The conceptual penis presents significant problems for gender identity and reproductive identity within social and family dynamics, is exclusionary to disenfranchised communities based upon gender or reproductive identity, is an enduring source of abuse for women and other gender-marginalized groups and individuals, is the universal performative source of rape, and is the conceptual driver behind much of climate change. |
