Regardless of how a procedure works, if it doesn't come out with equal outcomes, then the cause of the inequality can ONLY be through discrimination.

It's our responsibility as citizen-scientists to back-rationalize how the patriarchy did this. I argue it was from psychic auras within the painting that hypnotized the viewers.
