Adam and Eve.
Gen 2:18-23
18 The LORD God said, "It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him."
19 Now the LORD God had formed out of the ground all the beasts of the field and all the birds of the air. He brought them to the man to see what he would name them; and whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name. 20 So the man gave names to all the livestock, the birds of the air and all the beasts of the field.
But for Adam no suitable helper was found. 21 So the LORD God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man's ribs and closed up the place with flesh. 22 Then the LORD God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.
23 The man said,
"This is now bone of my bones
and flesh of my flesh;
she shall be called 'woman, '
for she was taken out of man."

Women weren't meant to be in charge of man.
Women were created to be man's help-mate.

Then why is it that according to the Bible:
1 Timothy 2:11-14 (KJV) -
11 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.
12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.
13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve.
14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.

Only extremists say that women are meant to be in charge of men. It isn't even the mainstream feminist view. It's a misconception and a bad stereotype.

I just thought I should say that men and women have the same number of ribs. Pull out an anatomy text book if you don't believe me.

Sorry I think you are a bit confused. Women were created to help man. Ever heard of a man being able to find his socks, his tie, his shoes, the yard to cut it and so forth. See women have been helping man for years. I am almost positive in cave days he asked where is my hunting gear. He hope he loose it so he would not have to hunt, women would of had to do that as well.

If you knew the bible you would know the answer to the rib question.
Men were created first so God wouldn't make the same mistake twice.

Men and women have the same number of ribs, thanks. I don't choose to live my life by the ***-backward mores of middle eastern shepherds from thousands of years ago, call me crazy.

This is funny, a feminist....
If it weren't for men and their pensions, women would be flipping burgers at the age of 70 to eat.
