The website hasn't said that it is yet but it might be this. A couple people hoaxed a social sciences journal, sending in an article that was purposely junk and the journal peer reviewed it and published it. This is actually pretty funny.

Here is a paragraph from the Conclusion section of the paper:

"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."

Here's a good line from it:

"Manspreading - a complaint levied against men for sitting with their legs spread wide - is akin to raping the empty space around him."
