Because the Bible rarely adresses issues in a direct, overt fashion, it is hard to understand how and why Abrahamic religions are blackpilled on looks, sexuality and human nature.
But this is a case where to understand the tree, you need to look at the fruits. Christianity gave us:
The French writer Michel Houellebecq adresses this aspect of Christianity in his book Atomized, which I strongly recommend. Atomized describes the progress of atheism in France and its effects on introverted, ugly men.
But this is a case where to understand the tree, you need to look at the fruits. Christianity gave us:
- The institution of marriage between one man and one woman
- The strong prohibition of divorce
- The strong prohibition of fornication (sex before marriage or outside marriage)
- The separation of the sexes in school (religion had a monopoly on education at some point, and schools were always segregated. Traditional Catholic schools are still segregated nowadays)
- The notion that the soul matters more than exterior displays of attractiveness (a notion that predates Christianity, but was made both extremely popular and extremely powerful by Christianity due to the threat of sending the wicked to Hell for eternity)
- The notion that non-married men should focus on healthy pleasures rather than sex before getting married
- A net diminution of suifuel for unattractive men (no seeing Chad kiss Stacy in a corridor)
- A re-equilibration of the sexual market and sexual dynamics (forced matrimony can be conceived as a forced peg between two currencies, it completely rigs the market, and in this case it was in favor of men)
- A strong devaluation of the value of Chads and Stacies (in the Middle Ages, it was, incredibly, possible for a Chad to get amogged by an ugly guy in life).
