One of the major flaws of Western Civilization is the false dichotomy of manhood versus womanhood. Western Civ as we now know it is essentially Aristotle with a fat layer of Germanic mythology. That’s what the Enlightenment was all about, marrying the two and striving to wipe away the Hebrew God by making no place for biblical culture.
The tribal Germanic male is not a nice man, and quite far from God’s ideal of manhood. There is some overlap, of course, but most Western Christians read this false manhood back into Scripture and get the wrong picture of what God intended. To be a real man in the Western traditions is not at all in accordance with God’s Justice, which means Creation itself will fight him. The Western version of reality and morality is all wrong. He’s either a wimp or a complete jerk.
So it’s no surprise Western women rise up against this false image. Against his “she better please me” is her instinctive “he needs to learn” whatever it is she demands of him. Because the baseline is utterly false, so is her reaction. We call it feminism.
Hebrew tradition clings to what God says we are made of in our fallen state. A real Hebraic man would guard that truth against lies. It’s not simply a matter of his own best interest, but an imperative from God. To live in this world requires embracing God’s revelation and doing things His way. The Law Covenants exemplify what His ways are for us after the Fall. It’s as good as it gets, and it brings God glory when we live by it.
So let’s say a modern man takes the Red Pill; he embraces the truth and wakes up. He’s a Hebraic man; he takes the initiative to walk in the truth. It’s his job. He acts according to God’s revelation because he can’t do any better. If the whole world clings to deception, he drives ahead in truth. In so doing, any number of women will be drawn to him, even when they insists it’s all wrong. A woman’s mind may be confused by feminist heresies, but her nature is not deceived. It knows the real deal and will drag her conscious mind kicking and screaming to his side. She won’t stay, but she can’t stay away, either. Maybe, in God’s mercy, she gets the Red Pill, too.
Either way, a real man of God will celebrate what a women is and does. A woman living in the blessings of Abraham will celebrate her man being and doing what men do. They aren’t confused about the reality of things. Within the fallen world and our burned-in imperfections, there is still a thread of moral truth with the power to call Creation to cooperate. They are on the same team, and not enemies fighting over something false in the first place. Indeed, they encourage and work with each other in maximizing their respective potential as fallen men and women who cling to God’s truth.
