I am going to assume you're not trolling.

Galatians 3:23 Before the coming of this faith, we were held in custody under the law, locked up until the faith that was to come would be revealed. 24 So the law was our guardian until Christ came that we might be justified by faith. 25 Now that this faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian.

26 So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith, 27 for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.

Read the whole passage in context. All who decide to accept Christ and be His disciple are children of God. It doesn't matter who you are.. Jew or Greek, slave or free, male or female... we're all Christians.

Conclusion: We're all Christians: children of God through faith.

1 Corinthians 12:12 For even as the body is one and yet has many members, and all the members of the body, though they are many, are one body, so also is Christ. 13 For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and we were all made to drink of one Spirit.

14 For the body is not one member, but many. 15 If the foot says, “Because I am not a hand, I am not a part of the body,” it is not for this reason any the less a part of the body. 16 And if the ear says, “Because I am not an eye, I am not a part of the body,” it is not for this reason any the less a part of the body. 17 If the whole body were an eye, where would the hearing be? If the whole were hearing, where would the sense of smell be? 18 But now God has placed the members, each one of them, in the body, just as He desired. 19 If they were all one member, where would the body be? 20 But now there are many members, but one body. 21 And the eye cannot say to the hand, “I have no need of you”; or again the head to the feet, “I have no need of you.” 22 On the contrary, it is much truer that the members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary; 23 and those members of the body which we deem less honorable, on these we bestow more abundant honor, and our less presentable members become much more presentable, 24 whereas our more presentable members have no need of it. But God has so composed the body, giving more abundant honor to that member which lacked, 25 so that there may be no division in the body, but that the members may have the same care for one another. 26 And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.

27 Now you are Christ’s body, and individually members of it. 28 And God has appointed in the church, first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, administrations, various kinds of tongues. 29 All are not apostles, are they? All are not prophets, are they? All are not teachers, are they? All are not workers of miracles, are they? 30 All do not have gifts of healings, do they? All do not speak with tongues, do they? All do not interpret, do they? 31 But earnestly desire the greater gifts.

Lots of members make up the body of Christ. Some are hands, some are feet, some are eyes, some are ears. This corresponds to the different gifts of the Spirit and the different roles and responsibilities that they entail.

Conclusion: There are different roles and responsibilities in the Church, even though we're all Christians. None are "better" than others as all are needed.

Ephesians 5:22 Wives, be subject to your own husbands, as to the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ also is the head of the church, He Himself being the Savior of the body. 24 But as the church is subject to Christ, so also the wives ought to be to their husbands in everything.

25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her, 26 so that He might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, 27 that He might present to Himself the church in all her glory, having no spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that she would be holy and blameless. 28 So husbands ought also to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself; 29 for no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ also does the church, 30 because we are members of His body. 31 For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and shall be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh. 32 This mystery is great; but I am speaking with reference to Christ and the church. 33 Nevertheless, each individual among you also is to love his own wife even as himself, and the wife must see to it that she respects her husband.

Like there are different parts of the body and gifts of the Spirit, there are similar differences in marriage. The husband is the head and the wife is the body, which emulates Christ and the Church.

See also: Colossians 3, Titus 2, 1 Peter 3, 1 Tim 2 and 3, 1 Cor 11-14, etc.

Conclusion: There are also different marital roles and responsibilities, even though we're all Christians.

Final conclusion: Egalitarians are wrong. The end.

As far as I understand it, this subreddit has the purpose of learning how men should behave in the light of things Jesus taught. The slant is, we also talk about how warped relationships have become in the 21st century.

Not unlike a subreddit or group of Christian musicians or athletes.

Now, you may think - oh Christianity is just one thing - there are no modern biases. But there are. The large majority of the western church basically lives by a feminist mindset, our country does too. Men are taught blue pill dreams like I was, just have your goal to marry a beautiful woman and have a family. Happy wife happy life. Being a mother is the hardest job in the world.

There's so much cultural influence that when someone learns red pill ideas they become awoken to how much programming is out there.

So this isn't anything special. No more special than a group of Christian athletes. We just have a different topic we discuss.
