Don't give skeletons a gender or categorise their race as this ‘contributes to white supremacy', woke activists demand
2022-07-25
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] "I got your woke activism right here" *grabs crotch*
  • Critics said the idea would impose ideology in history 'where it doesn't belong'

  • Trendy academics have labelled human remains 'non-binary' or 'gender neutral'

  • The ideas were put forward by the so-called Black Trowel Collective of American ‘anarchist archaeologists’

  • A professor warned, 'You have to fight back against this because if it is accepted then the whole academic enterprise turns into an empty pursuit of ideological objectives.'
    Too late.
The group’s manifesto on ‘trans liberation’ states: ‘It is clear from archaeological, historical, and ethnographic accounts that human gender is highly variable and that human beings have historically been comfortable with a range of genders beyond modern “masculine” and “feminine” binaries.’

#16  And here with a penal rebuttal,
I give you the giant Oz cuttle:
"Aragonite bone!
Tis our source of reknown,
Though a few hundred meters
Implodes our poor peters,
So only through shallows we scuttle."

#13  Based on this new development, I will pass on the next Pirates of the Caribbean installment. Seeing multicultural animated skeletons will likely give me a bigger headache than the Sponge Bob Movie did.

#12   If the skeleton had a dick, it'd be my uncle!

#11  What the hell? Why can't we celebrate our small ethnic differences rather than freaking out over them? If you removed my skeleton, it would probably look like that of a Pict bog dweller. My neighbor down the road, if you removed his skeleton it would look like Zulu warrior's. So I'm not exactly feeling superior about it!

#10  In an enlightened age, these people wouldn't be allowed near a university.

#9  No gender with skeletons? But, but, but the forensic anthropologists tell us that skeletons do have distinguishing gender as well as racial characteristics that aid in their analysis of "Who got what done to them." Don't muddle up the science with "wokeness cow pucky.

#8  Someone should make an effort to archive scientific knowledge before this idiots burn it all as White Supremacy.

#4  Never mind that learning how to tell whether it's the skeleton of a male or a female is Anthropological Physiology 101 level stuff.

#3  This is how the Soviet Union fell. Political insanity insisting that facts kneel to its wishes. Nobody could get accurate information and the whole country was built on lies.

Of course, for the wokies, America falling is the entire idea.
