A dismissive phrase invented as a lazy insult toward women with septum rings. It’s most often used when the person insulting can’t actually respond to what a woman with a septum piercing is saying — so instead of addressing her point, they reduce her to her jewelry.

People lean on “Septum Theory” when they’re out of arguments, turning someone’s appearance into the debate itself.
