I can’t open the link, it’s not loading for me for reasons unknown. So I’ll take the title at face value, and say that as a theory or hypothesis it sounds plausible. Penile adaptations to outcompete other males isn’t unheard of, the most well known example is canine knots.
how does opining on one of the author’s reputability have to do with the integrity of the study or its findings? that’s like saying Teslas are good cars because you happen to like Elon Musk.
It makes me feel uncomfortable that someone would actually believe something so fuckin stupid

so you just found some crazy study online by some academic kooks and, rather than apply an ounce of critical thought, you just believed it.
smh
Interestingly, the main author is respected

that doesn’t really mean much with regard to the validity of the study, though

Again, that’s not what my point is. I’m just disputing the characterization you made

The comment called the authors “kooks.” I am disputing that characterization. As you say, this has nothing to do with the study.
Edit: 5 downvotes in 2 minutes… wow, is this breaking any rules that the person has so many accounts and manipulates votes?
you haven’t disputed anything. all you’ve done is to disagree and link to a Wikipedia article that does nothing to contradict my assessment.
