4. Dunno, it looks more like a pseudoscientific instance of Poe's Law

It's impossible to satirize the fringe because they'll work hard to top it the next day.

The bit about nuts and balls is hilarious but not any wackier than the other stuff sociobiologists have come up with and published in all sincerity to the hilarity of sensible people, trying vainly to prove the superiority of one race over the other or one sex over the other.

I also notice how she focuses on nuts and balls but failed to focus on white men eating white Cavendish bananas. I wonder what she'd make of that one.

Then again, even Freud said sometimes a banana is only a banana.
