"Hello my fine fellows!

I am looking for perspectives on how female nature can be linked to a Loving Creator. Female nature makes sense in the light of evolution, but not in the light of an all loving God. I am having a hard time understanding why an all loving creator, would create women to be attracted to abusive jerks, rather than men who are kind, caring and understanding. I welcome all feedback and perspectives. Thanks in advance!"

—Steven Plant

Excellent question!

Listen carefully—I'm about to give you a CRITICAL distinction:

Female nature isn't the way it is BECAUSE of our loving creator; female nature is the way it is DESPITE our loving creator.

Now PAUSE and let that sink in...

God withheld nothing from humanity, including the CHOICE to exercise free will in His love.

Female nature doesn't contradict the Bible—

—but affirms it.

Again: female nature AFFIRMS scripture.

Let me explain...

THE FALL OF CREATION

Are you familiar with the doctrine of "ORIGINAL SIN" and the fall of mankind?

Here's the short version: God made everything PERFECT in the beginning.

And He said creation was VERY GOOD (Gen 1:31).

Everything was IDEAL—no natural disasters, sickness, disease, sinful attitudes/behaviors, or DEATH.

It was PARADISE.

Then the first humans (Adam and Eve) CHOSE to disobey God—

—and the woman partook of the FORBIDDEN fruit.

This was her "free will" choice. And she freely chose to SIN.

Her husband also made a free will choice to sin when he abandoned his masculine duty, authority, headship responsibility, and frame (Eph. 5:23)—

—and LISTENED to his wife, eating from her hand.

This was his free will choice. And he freely chose to SIN.

"And to the man [God] said, “Since you listened to your wife and ate from the tree whose fruit I commanded you not to eat, the ground is cursed because of you. All your life you will struggle to scratch a living from it."

— Gen. 3:17, NLT

And to the woman, God said:

"'I will sharpen the pain of your pregnancy, and in pain you will give birth. And you will desire to control your husband, but he will rule over you.'"

— Gen. 3:16, NLT

Did you catch that?

Part of the fall/curse is that women now attempt to wrest headship, authority, and CONTROL from their husbands—

—and Red Pill truth ALIGNS with this teaching.

THE POST-FALL WORLD

Because Adam and Eve did not listen to God, SIN entered the world through their disobedience—

—and the whole of creation was cursed for their TRANSGRESSION.

"Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned."

— Rom. 5:12, ESV

Today, we lived under that curse in a tainted, imperfect, sin-fallen world.

This is why earthquakes, floods, and natural disasters exist. It is why there are violent predatory animals who hunt for meat. And why children are starving in the third world for lack of sustenance.

All of this is a SYMPTOM of our FALLEN STATE, which is the consequence of OUR sin (all are guilty [Rom. 3:23]).

It is also why women are HYPERGAMOUS

—and attracted to bad boys, jerks, a-holes, wealth, and men with power and a propensity for violence.

And who can blame them?

Part adaptation, part necessity, and ALL sin, rich, powerful, strong men offer women (and their offspring) the best physical and genetic odds of survival in our modern cutthroat environment (despite this, God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose [Rom. 8:28]).

But rich, powerful, disingenuous, violent jerks are NOT God's ideal; they are the symptom, not the cause.

Again: they are the SYMPTOM, not the CAUSE

—and their UTILITY demonstrates how the world is, not how it should be.

So adopt the stoic philosophy of accepting the circumstances as they are, not what you wish they were.

Don’t cry over spilled milk, instead focus unemotionally on how to get MORE milk—

—or whether you even needed milk in the first place.

In an ideal world, you could happily remain a man of INTEGRITY and VALUES and be kind, caring, predictable, and totally transparent (I dare say BLUE PILL)—

—and have women SWOONING.

But this isn't reality; we don't live in an ideal world.

In our fallen, tainted world, Red Pill AWARENESS is NECESSARY to protect yourself (and your livelihood) against women's wandering eyes and volatile hypergamous desires.

"Many unassuming and well-intentioned Christian men fall into temptation and a snare due to a lack of awareness. Yet awareness is imperative. We are to be in the world, not of it. But we are still in it. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. Remember that."

— The God Pill

LISTEN TO THE WORD

The Bible exhorts us to be infants in evil, but in [our] thinking [to] be mature (1 Cor. 14:20).

As men, we ought to cling to UNCOMFORTABLE truths, not COMFORTING lies.

When it comes to women, the Red Pill is our GUIDE MAP. It tells us WHAT women do—

—and WHY they do it.

Remember: to play the game, you must be AWARE of the game.

Discernment is CRITICAL

—but awareness is IMPERATIVE.

So heed the Word: be shrewd as serpents and innocent as doves.

Don’t worry about evil people who prosper or fret about their wicked schemes (Ps. 37:7).

The Red Pill is to make you BETTER, not BITTER; let it BUILD you, not BREAK you.

“Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves; so be shrewd as serpents and innocent as doves."

— Matt. 10:16, NASB 1995
