@rhodes_mzra The difference in the way boomers treat young men versus young women is beyond parody. It’s not even a “toughen up, young man” thing, it’s active sabotage.
David Reich on how much ancient DNA evidence has overturned so much consensus thinking how ancient cultures spread.

Some of our archaeologist co-authors were just really distressed."
I used to fly a lot. Mainly work stuff.
We'd be out in the world somewhere shooting something. At the end of the job I'd fly home to LA. And every single time (without fail) there'd be some smoking hot chick on the flight.
Sometimes I'd chat with these girls. Even tho I knew the answer, I'd ask them why there were going to LA.
I knew why they were going to LA because every one of these hot chicks had a variation on the same story: they were going to LA to become an actress.
These girls were the cutest/hottest girls in their little towns or suburbs, and all their lives people told them "you could be a movie star!" So one day, they decided to move to LA and become a movie star.
The issue with their plan was this: out of the (literal) hundreds of thousands of young women (and men too) who moved to LA every year trying to make it big, only a handful got any sort of acting work. And only one or two of those became household names.
The cheap and plentiful oversupply of ambitious beautiful young women (who were willing to do whatever it takes to become famous) created some moral quandaries for the men of the film industry, which culminated in the moral panic known as Me Too.
These days the hot chicks don't flock to LA like they used to. Because in the post-MeToo Hollywood, with it's feminized management, female sexuality isn't all that welcome.
Now there's a big correction currently taking place, but over the past decade or so most of the big decisions have made by "teams" of women. Which was a stark contrast to the historical norm: decision by Horny Dude.
If you know anything about the fairer sex, you know that groups of middle age women do not like to have young hot babes hanging about--which is why the leading ladies of the past decade have been (how to put this?) not quite so desirable.
But we still make hot chicks. Every graduating class has a few. And they still have that unquenchable lust for fame.
So where are they? Where do the Beauty Queens from Smallsville Kansas go?
Well... they're doing porn. They're on Only Fans, or they're doing soft-porn "modeling" and "influencing" on social media.
And now we're seeing actual successful actresses like Shannon Elizabeth doing it too.
Her sexuality wasn't welcome in the mainstream entertainment industry, so she found a place where her assets had value. It's a brilliant arbitrage play for an aged-out actress, and I'm glad she's getting paid what she's worth.
So what about the rest of the Hawt Gurls? The ones who want to be Sidney Sweeney?
It would be nice if we still had Horny Dudes in charge of Hollywood. Because maybe those horny guys would actually value what these young women bring to the table.
Because great beauty is rare.
And it would be nice to see these girls get real jobs.
@SlumRNA_Dog Women like RFH really are the problem. I don’t see myself as aligned with this person politically in any way. Smarmy, chubby white middle school teachers are genuinely a huge problem for White middle America.
“I’m a WASP. I don’t wanna be flattered by you. It’s kinda weirdly insulting you even like me. It’s kinda like that question of ‘Does the Mona Lisa get uglier if more and more ugly people look at it?’ and I think the answer is yes.” ~ @RichardBSpencer
Germanic Tribes in the Second Century AD, as mentioned by Ancient Authors.
Compiled from various ancient authors, most notably Tacitus, Ptolemy, Pliny and Strabo.
The exact locations of the Germanic Tribes has been a vague and unclear question for almost two thousand years now, however with Archaeology and Cross-Referencing i believe it is possible to get somewhat close to the real picture.
