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 think this ties into the distinction @orthoxerox touches on between mail-order brides and sugar babies, or something like it. For example, is Melania a 'mail order bride'? In a way, she's a Slavic woman from a poor country who married an old fat American for (we presume) financial reasons. But, on the other hand, Trump was a billionaire and could easily have a found a pretty American 25 years younger to marry, as many of his peers did and do. At the same time, one could just as easily imagine Melania marrying some super-rich Slovenian. Marrying a billionaire is hypergamous for someone of any nationality. The mail order bride phenomenon distinctly captures 'average' Western men marrying women from much poorer countries. Similarly, if a handsome and successful Western guy who could date pretty women of his background and class happens to marry a pretty Filipina he meets online, is this a mail order bride scenario? Again, not really, I'd say.
