Because of that, a woman's natural power and her primordial (dark) energy (the Yin) must be evil. As represented by Lillith. And Samael, who is tasked with holding the antimatter and thus the space necessary for material existence and free will, must be evil. Since men's free will allows men to use and abuse others and generally do a lot of bad stuff, as well as the good stuff.

IMO this is basically scapegoating Source and/or the angels (specific ones) for our individual weaknesses and misaligned choices and behaviours, which is on so many levels just ridiculous. Unless there is a literal gun to your head (or equivalent), then it's about time we began to take ownership, and not by saying OK as of right now, bad is good and what we've been doing is now OK so carry on. But rather by saying, hey it's not OK and it's never been OK...it's time to man up and face the truth square in the eye. It's time we took the hard choices and quit perpetrating x, y, and z rubbish on those in our lives, full stop. And it's time to see why we used to need these rather vile archetypes...to hold our fear and our hatred for women and for our own weaknesses. That's why revisiting these archetypes and how we view them is so meaningful, IMO.

People hang on to 'old' traditions thinking that these are what 'give' their 'present' lives meaning, legitimacy, a sense of belonging, security, etc. - like what's involved in 'ancestor worship', and 'revered lineages' of gurus and disciples, reams/scrolls of 'holy scriptures', 'popes', 'royal families', etc. They have all had a creative function in terms of helping humanity (civilization?) to evolve to its present point, but they are clearly a 'drag' and, in many cases very counterproductive, in terms of 'humanity' evolving further NOW. (Not that such 'traditional' sources can't be selectively 'gleaned' for perspective, wisdom, advice, etc., mind you - I personally do a lot of such 'gleaning' myself.)

Clearly though, it's high time that 'new' Source-Manifestation and Yin-Yang archetypes (models? understandings?) fully overdub, and so functionally replace, the 'old' in psyche-space.

Here's a video which I think can help uproot whatever 'grip' Eve and Adam and/or Lilith and Adam stereotypes still have in the minds of those who 'grok' its (the video's) 'message:
