This is a reminder that whatever we've been told, women are not our equals. Understanding that men and women can never be equals is essential to managing male-female relations. Coming to the redpill to hear that men and women are different without a full understanding of these differences is like studying philosophy but only memorising Neitschze quotes. You might be able to apply them but you're still a poor student. I love women, I love my mother and my sister, but reality, whether we like it or not, must be accepted. Evolutionarily, we have come to accept women for what they are and see nothing wrong with it - that's just how women are. Correct. What happens when two women meet after not having seen each other for a while - undignified jumping and down and screaming, like children. And that's only a rudimentary example. I had a female teacher in high school who cried after we told her we didn't understand anything because she was going too fast - typical female thing to do. A man would have been pissed perhaps, or he'd realise the error of his ways or whatever, but he wouldn't cry. Notice a woman playing with her young child, she giggles and behaves in a manner that makes her child-like herself; something that would be undignified for a man.

We are told that because females can sometimes perform at par with males academically, that makes us equals. The veracity of that argument is questionable - and immaterial because that alone does not equate us. Intelligence is nothing without perseverance, resilience, an ability to withstand emotional and physical pain (disappointment, etc), unwavering commitment to the goal, an ability to not be clouded by my emotions, less/no need for external validation e.t.c.

I'm African and in our ancestral lands, the huts have one place designated for men and on the other side, women. Only recently have I started to see the value of this. My forefathers realised that the matters of men can only be done efficiently while men are alone. When someone passes on, men mourn alone and women mourn alone. That's because left to their own devices, women would mourn endlessly without considering that the body must be buried with dignity, people must be given time to pay their last respects and the other things that go with a Zimbabwean funeral, vastly different from a Western one.

An even more consequential example has shown itself if you've worked with women. They squabble over petty things at the expense of productivity. If you shoot down their ideas for being implausible, they take it as an ad hominem attack even if it isn't. Even if something is clearly, undoubtedly a woman's fault in the workplace or elsewhere, she'll spin and lay the blame on someone or something else. The surprising thing is she seems to buy the crap she's selling.

With all that I've said, the conclusion that I want you to come to is that you shouldn't hold women to the same standards as yourself. When you give a woman a task, leave room in your mind that it may be done inefficiently. Do not expect a woman to be quick to take responsibility the same way you would. Do not expect a woman to be committed to pursuits of any kind the same way you would. The middle path applies here - be careful not to let women get away with silly things. In one sense be a disciplinarian, for women cannot thrive without the firm leadership of a man. In the other sense, be accommodating of the limitations of women; it will make you much less frustrated and more importantly, it will make you a greater leader because you'll understand that the onus is on you to take charge, otherwise everything will go to shit.

After noticing this, you must not hate women. Accept them for who and what they are; they are not without merit. Reality is meant to be accepted,not bemoaned. As a man of purpose, you have no choice but to be a leader, for women are incapable of thriving without your masculine guidance, but in their hubris they have forgotten this.

As a bonus; I'll leave key parenting advice. As a father, you must constantly develop yourself. Be a man of purpose, discipline and iron will. Take care of your body, broaden your mind and strengthen your spirituality. These are key for any man but for a father, they are not only for himself but for his son too. As the son is younger, he needs the nurturing of his mother. At this age, a man's capacity to connect with his child is limited. At the very early ages, the child must spend 80% of his parental time with the mother, who is able to play with him in a way that's nurturing and key for his growth. 20% must be spent with the father, for the child must develop some familiarity with his father. As the child grows the numbers must shift gradually until they are inverse, 80% of parental time with the father and the other 20% with the mother. It is at the this age, from 8 until well into the teens and after, that the son must see his father being purposeful, reading books and broadening his intellectuality, going to the gym and taking care of his body and strengthening himself spiritually by developing a sense of peace through meditation and whatever other means he wishes. A child seeing this develops a profound respect for his father which later turns to fellowship as he emulates these traits and the connection between father and son grows.

The end.
