Things turned to chaos during a debate between women’s sports advocate and champion Riley Gaines and a woke anthropologist there to claim that there aren’t biological differences between men and women. What happened was that former collegiate swimmer Riley Gaines, one of the brave women swimmers that competed against biological male Lia Thomas, asked a woke anthropologist if the bones of ancient humans could yield information about that person’s sex. The woke anthropologist, predictably, went full woke in his answer.
It began with Gaines asking, “I actually have a question for you. You being an anthropologist, which anthropology is the study of human civilization. So if you were to dig up a human, two humans, in 100 years from now, both man and woman, could you tell the difference, strictly off of bones?”
It got awkward real fast, as the anthropologist replied with just one, obviously incorrect word, saying “No.” The room then burst into uncontrolled laughter, humiliating the woke academic.
.@Riley_Gaines_ to anthropologist: "If you were to dig up… 2 humans… 100 years from now, both man and woman, could you tell the difference, strictly off of bones?"
"No."
*CHAOS*

But it didn’t end there. It got worse. The humiliated academic reverted to credentialism in a desperate attempt to save his credibility, saying, “I’m not sure why I’m being laughed at if I’m the expert in the room. Have any of you been to archeological sites? Have any of you studied biological anthropology? I’m just saying, I’ve got over 150 years of data, I’m just curious as to why I’m being laughed at.”
Gaines then jumped back in, saying, “I actually, believe it or not, have put a lot of research into this because –” But then the desperate anthropologist tried pointing to his credentials yet again, saying, “I have a Ph.D.” The crowd then roared in laughter again.
Louder with Crowder, mocking the woke academic and explaining Gaines’ argument, said:
I think what Gaines was trying to get at was, no matter how a person “identifies” during their lifetime, a scientist examining their body centuries later could determine if they were a male or female because of the undeniable biological differences. Men and women’s skeletons differ in bone density, length, and structure – and all these things happen to benefit men in sports. Women’s bodies, and specifically their bones/pelvis, are structured to prioritize child-bearing.
But what do I know? I don’t have a Ph.D.
Gaines, for her part, is a Christian who remains committed to fighting for sanity and the truth, along with Christ. Posting about those issues on Twitter, for example, she said:
I was speaking at the University of Arkansas tonight and after my speech a group of 8ish college students asked if they could pray over me.
I feel so reassured that what we’re facing is truly spiritual warfare and that God will prevail as he always does.
I was so encouraged to see young Christians so willing to speak Gods message in a climate where that’s deemed “bigoted”. Reminder to pray for those who persecute you. Amidst hard times, I’m reminded we have such an amazing Savior🕊️🤍
