10,000 word long-take I wrote on the history of female warriors, North European human Sacrifice rituals, Girardian mimetic selection, and the incompatibility of the west's current conceptions of Freedom and women's liberation.
What occured in the forests of Germany and on the Eurasian steppe for 1000s of years was one of the most extreme experiments in selective breeding and selective killing practised anywhere on earth. The Aztec and Maya were the only ones with a ritual breeding/killing program so extreme

Notes -
I do enjoy that you write in the Moldbuggian tradition of essentially making things up while gesturing at the suggestion of evidence, spuriously. I do it too, so I feel a kind of appreciation for your writing style.
Do women from persecuted middle eastern tribes have a reputation for being ugly? I'm not just talking Jews who have obviously been through a particularly weird diasporic selection process, but rather those other small minorities that have hung around in the region for thousands of years. I think breeding beautiful people is actually pretty hard, much harder than breeding smarter people. Perfect features exaggerated just a little too much become very quickly grotesque. Some unions produce beautiful sons and ugly daughters, or vice versa, often precisely because features that work for one sex don't for the other. Then consider the different status red headed men versus red headed women have in contemporary discourse on attractiveness, for example.
I was under the impression that the vast majority of suicides of women in Berlin and East Germany were by women who had been raped, many of them pregnant. I suppose the historical record is necessarily spotty.
There is actually some additional evidence you left out. 50% of female S&P 500 CEOs are blonde; just 2% of male ones are, zero overrepresentation. Obviously most are bottle blonde; the white ethnics who settled the United States from the 1840s onward were largely not from people with high prevalence of natural blonde hair, except for some Scandinavians. But still, the yearning for blondeness is eternal.
You see it in Latin America especially, where an ugly blonde, blue-eyed girl from Southern Brazil or Europe can date multiple classes upward, while objectively much more beautiful brunettes (even pale ones!) cannot. This is not wholly explained, in my opinion, by the pure fetishism for nordic features that one sees in the Middle East, in Asia and so on. It's more primal. In my experience, limiting for comparison's sake to europeans of the same ethnic group, blonde women are friendlier to other women and tougher on men than brunettes. They also seem to take more risks.
There appears to be little understanding of the relationship between natural hair color and temperament; I googled the usual autistic genetics forums and it doesn't appear to be a popular topic there either. My mother and sister both have natural blonde hair and blue eyes, as I understand it this was very rare in Polish and Russian Jews but more common in German and Balkan ones. There's actually a fascinating section of the 1906 Jewish Encyclopedia which contains a detailed survey and discussion of the hair and eye colors of various European Jewish populations, their relations to head shape and head size and so on. But they both have quite a different temperament to me or my brother. It's an interesting discussion, they seem more headstrong.
