That men will have visceral attraction for physical female beauty is part of the settled order of nature. It behooves neoreaction to work with this reality rather than call it shallow.

Also, physical beauty and feminine behavior aren’t mutually exclusive, but rather synergistic. Without one, the other loses some charm.

“Women from fourteen years old are flattered with the title of “mistresses” by the men. Therefore, perceiving that they are regarded only as qualified to give the men pleasure, they begin to adorn themselves, and in that to place ill their hopes. We should, therefore, fix our attention on making them sensible that they are valued for the appearance of decent, modest and discreet behavior. ” Epictetus, The Enchiridion

There is, perhaps, nothing new under the sun.

As long as the beauty you care about is ephemeral and shallow, then that is all the beauty you will get. An aesthetics that valued durable and enriching feminine beauty of the sort created by feminine behavior more than the shape of someone’s ass or the color of her hair would serve neoreaction’s stated, if not revealed, purposes far better.

The abundance that produces birds of paradise selects for MALE beauty. The male bird is bright, the female bird dull. That is also the feminist endgame- female mating choice.

As far as tropical human females vs arctic, ok. Let’s compare indigenous New Guinea females to Russians chicks. Still confident?

(If your point is that Eskimo women aren’t beautiful, consider that cold climate is only ONE of the factors listed that is needed to produce beauty.)

Beauty doesn’t arise from scarcity, but from abundance. Birds of paradise flourish where food and life is plentiful, vultures and penguins where it is not. Compare also the Brazilian our any native tropical human female to those from artic or arid lands.

The author seems to be under the impression we live in 3000bc and not 20 years prior to genetic modifications.

Awesome post.

Let’s flip it: are women now selecting for more attractive men?
