there are nuggets of truth to it, but a lot of it is false.

for example, it's very empirically replicable that women who have never had a brother, never had a male child, and then died, have been found with detectable levels of DNA from multiple unrelated males literally in their brains. where does anyone think that comes from?

abnormalities when she was in the womb (e.g. effectively absorbing an undeveloped twin) are rare but they do happen. and every child a woman has leaves a bunch of DNA behind in her (including boys). so don't count the male DNA with familial order (brother or son) common genes. where is the rest of the male DNA coming from?

That's a very good question but there are dozens of ways other cells, male or female could enter the body. Orally, nasally or other membranes. Spit, skin shed, hair, etc. Jumping to the conclusion that it's from unprotected sex is the wacky part. Heck, since it's in the brain it's far more likely to be nasally since the nasal-brain barrier is far more exposed. Not to mention the whole "sperm is diploid" thing.
