Recently a longtime associate of mine asked about the origin of the slur "dog brain" which is now used almost exclusively against women. As a longtime connoisseur of rape, misogyny, verbal abuse, and physical violence towards women, I decided to investigate the history of this beloved and alluring term which so accurately describes the female psyche.
The insult "dog-brained" first appears in print in 1835, in Robert Montgomery Byrd's The Infidel, Or the Fall of Mexico: https://archive.org/details/cortesorfallmex02birdgoog
"Dog-brained churl and ass" one of the main characters used to rebuke a Mexican. Byrd is a name I recognized from reading his "Nick of the Woods", which is an awesome novel about committing revenge genocide against Injuns that I actually recommend you read if you're into Tom Quick the Indian Slayer portrayed as a emotionally tortured Quaker. I also searched for "dog brain" up until 1835 just to confirm Byrd as the originator of the term as an insult -- every prior usage of dog brain is in reference to actual canine grey matter. Dog brained is then used again by an author of no renown in another novel in 1878, and in a short story in Munsey's Magazine at the turn of the century. It then disappears from publication for decades.
It returns as a more pointed insult in the 1970s, used against Communists, "dog-brained bureaucrats of the Soviet Union" in Finis Farr's 1975 "Fair Enough: The Life of Westbrook Pegler" and expliticly misogynistic "DOG BRAINED BITCH!" in a 1979 issue of Denver Quarterly, in reference to an obese and ugly woman.
Then it nearly disappears from publication again, besides a single instance in a TV guide in the 80s. Then in 1995 Laurence James under the pseudonym James Axler used the phrase in his "Shadowfall", the 26th book in the Deathlands saga, which is about a postapocalyptic society of eternal road war. From there the most common instance in the phrase is in multiple publications dedicated to FASA's franchise Shadowrun starting with 1998's Psychotrope. As far as I can tell, Shadowrun is the first instance of a society of multiple authors using the term in a small community and likely the body of authors which popularized the term for general usage. After that it reentered the common vernacular and there are a lot of post-2010 uses of the term.
As far as I can tell "dog brain" and "dog brains" as a noun used to describe people rather than "dog-brained" as an adjective is a development that came with social media.
Dog-brained has its linguistic origins in a documented genocide appreciator and a notable history of being leveled as a term against communists and women, making it extremely based and redpilled. I recommend you use this term more often and also inform those using it about its storied roots in Racial Holy War, woman-hatred, and anti-Communist polemic.
