Then the LORD God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man. - Genesis 2:22

Is man superior to a woman? Do you think it's true? Yes or no. We have an answer for you.

Generally speaking, as a gender or sex, do you think women are inferior, weaker, lesser and with lower value? Of course not! Even when Eve was first created, God made it clear. When God made Eve, it was not about hierarchy but instead a beautiful partnership.

Then God said, "Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals and over all the creatures that move along the ground."

So God created mankind in his own image,
in the image of God he created them;
male and female he created them.

 (Genesis 2:26-27)

Take note that the dominance was not just given to the man alone but God clearly said "Let Them," meaning both Adam and Eve. God created everything in the earth including nature and animals. God knows there should be stewards to keep it and maintain it and nurture it. God surely knows that a man alone cannot do it so he created the first woman. God also made sure we understand that one cannot do without the other.

Nevertheless, in the Lord woman is not independent of man nor man of woman; for as woman was made from man, so man is now born of woman. And all things are from God. (1 Corinthians 11:11-12)
