In the first edition of this series I endeavored to use the relative word masculinized instead of masculine so as to be more technically correct and perhaps neutral sounding when dealing with women from that end of the physiognomy distribution. In hindsight, it turned out to be too cumbersome and actually ambiguous because of the possible interpretation that such women had been masculinized through environmental/nurture causes rather than the congenital. So back to common parlance.
Angela Merkel
The AfD (Alternative für Deutschland) is surging in the polls under the leadership of lesbian Alice Weidel (perhaps I’ll profile her eventually), but the woman I want to feature today Angel Merkel, because her name is being thrown around as a potential comeback savior against AfD rule. This of course makes no sense, because Merkel is the biggest culprit of Germany’s decline, which caused the rise of the AfD in the first place. I doubt she will make a return (she must know what would need to be done) but then again she is delusional enough to have written a self-aggrandizing autobiography and enjoys walking around in public feeling important with security protection (the irony).
You can see from her earlier days just how masculine she was, but with some clever hair-styling she hid it well once coming to prominence. Merkel went into STEM (of course) and got a physics degree and then doctorate in quantum chemistry. She worked in the field for some time, but as I pointed out in The Post-Darwinian Zoo, she obviously got bored and turned to atomizing German society instead—a life goal that she succeeded in like no other. She has no biological children, so who knows how deep this goes.
Marie Curie
Remaining on the topic of physics and chemistry—what better time than to profile Marie Curie, who won a Nobel Prize in each of those fields. The Warsaw-born prodigy was only mildly masculine, though I do think the broad face, nose and square jaw are worth pointing out as evidence for higher testosterone. She had two biological children with her French husband and fellow laureate Pierre Curie. She became an atheist following the deaths of her mother and sister, which is more of a masculine way of dealing with things.
Lexie Alford
Sometimes all it takes is just one trait to get noticed by the Aggressive Observations “head” physiognomist. I won’t be covering many influencers in this series, but I had to cover this adventurer, who holds the Guinness World Record for visiting every country before the age of 22. No surprises that both of her parents are travel agents.
She is rather photogenic, so it’s only her incredibly long neck that I would classify as masculine. Well, that includes the bulge around the larynx, which is not normally present for women. She’ll need that muscle power in the throat, because after the Ford sponsorship deal she is the one laughing all the way to the bank. But if I could give her one piece of advice, it would be to change her marketing sobriquet “Lexie Limitless”—which sounds like something an adult film star would trade under. She is from California after all…
