A guy told me the other day that women are more trusting than men when it comes to giving money to others.

I had to stop and think about that.

Because he wasn't really talking about women at all. He was talking about men. He just didn't realize it.

Here's What He Actually Said

When he said women are more trusting, he was really saying men are more suspicious.

When he said women give more, he was really saying men hold tighter.

When he said women help others, he was really saying men help themselves.

When he said women are generous, he was really saying men are guarded.

He thought he was complimenting women. But all he did was tell on his own gender.

Who Does That Say More About?

Think about it.

If men are less trusting, less giving, less generous—that's not a statement about women. That's a statement about men. About what they've become. About what they've been trained to be. About what the system made them.

The statement says more about the speaker than the subject. Every time.

What the System Did

The system spent centuries training men to provide, not share. Compete, not cooperate. Hoard, not give. Protect, not risk. Win, not lift. Take, not give.

And now they look at women giving and say "look how trusting they are" as if it's a mystery. As if it's not the natural result of being trained differently.

Women were trained differently. Not better by nature. Different by design. Different by necessity. Different because someone had to keep the community alive while men were out competing and conquering.

What the Bible Actually Says About This

"There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus." — Galatians 3:28

One. Not better. Not worse. Not more trusting. Not less. One.

The divisions we see aren't from God. They're from the system. They're from the training. They're from centuries of programming that told people to act certain ways based on what they were born as.

"A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another." — John 13:34

Love one another. Not "men love this way, women love that way." Not "some people are more generous by nature." Love one another. The same. Equal. One.

What This Means for You

If you're a woman who gives, that's not because you're more trusting by nature. That's because you're human. That's because you choose to. That's because you haven't let the system train you to hoard.

If you're a man who gives, that's not going against your nature. That's being fully human. That's breaking the programming. That's refusing to be what the system made you.

The point isn't which gender is better at giving. The point is that we're all supposed to give. All supposed to trust. All supposed to love. All supposed to be one.

And any statement that divides us, that says "this group does this and that group does that" without asking why—that statement says more about the speaker than it ever could about the subject.
