Who was subserviant to whom? Was this the first form of sexism when they got rid of Lilith out of the bible because of this or do people understand who and what she stood for?

Well Lilith was Biblical I just didn't tell what source and when she was cast out of the garden she fell. When she fell she did become something of a Demon yes and was also called the mother of all monsters. I wanted people to tell me what they know. Lilith is well known through Hebrew writings and trying to get people to understand from a knowledge point of view, that Lilith was made from the same clay Adam was created and Eve was created from one of Adam's ribs .
Wouldn't this mean that all woman should be subserviant. But more woman are showing true strength and that of Lilith?
Would you still want to be in a man dominant society or that of a society that shows to be equal?
Some religions and this also comes from wars, that you take something from a land or country you have conquered. I am not Jewish, but something has to be said that alot of religions look at the literature not just from the Hebrew bible but also old texts.

In the first book of Gen - god made man and women in his own image. In midrash the Jewish scholars did not know what to make of this, so they decided to make her Lilith. She is most noted in the Zohar or the Book of Splendors. The Jewish hierarchy made her a succubus that went through the night seducing young men and killing babies. She would not be subservient to Adam so g_d created Eve from his side.

Lilith being a woman was expected to be submissive to Adam. She refused to be submissive to Adam which was in direct violation of an order from God. So she was removed from the garden for this violation. Eve came to be shortly after and was submissive and therefore by stardards of the men who wrote the story was what God wanted a wife to be.
Lilith - stubborn, independant, and a thinker
Eve - submissive, dependant, and unspoken
Adam - the master of woman ...
with either Lilith or Eve woman would have been seen the creators of original sin ...
Lilith later married Cain, Eve's son. This is mentioned in the bible when it talks about Cain leaving his parents to go to a foreign land and wed. The only logical answer is that he wed Lilith the only other woman on earth.

Actually:
"Lilith is a mythological female Mesopotamian storm demon associated with wind and was thought to be a bearer of disease, illness, and death."
Also mentioned in the wikipedia article (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lilith) are biblical sources. However, for arguments sake, check out the discussion on this article by clicking the "discussion" link above it.
Very interesting question! =) Hope this helps just a little!

Lilith was from the Jewish Rabbinical writings called the Midrash, not the Bible.
EDIT: Lilith is not Biblical, Mr. "I just didn't tell you the source", she is rabbinical. Rabbinical(teaching writing ) and Biblical (Scriptural) are not the same thing in any religion. "Lilith" is not in Isaiah, if that is the Bible "source" you are illuding to.

From what I remember of the myth of Lilith, she was supposedly created before Eve, but sought to be her "own woman". So she left Adam and God had to create Eve for him.
But she is just a myth.

Lilith was the mother of Adams Children (Cain), Lilith and Adam were of the 2nd Age, (seal), the time of Job, in the land of Nod.
Eve was the first, Eve was created before the Garden of Eden, the 3rd age, the time when LORD God made a place for her to live for a Time, Times, and Half-a-Time.
God's place for her was the land of Nod, for 1290 days when the lush and green earth was destroyed by water as it was in the time of Noah, the 4th age. The land of Nod is Asia.

Lilith, whoever that is, never existed in the Bible in the first place as far as I'm aware. Therefore it is not possible to remove Lilith from the Bible.

Ugh. Even Hebrew scholars agree that Lilith was MADE UP.
Even ultra-feminist scholars agree that Lilith was MADE UP.
give over.
