    Everyone is discussing semantics, and no one is mentioning that the bible creation of the woman was mistranslated and the word that was translated into “rib” actually means something closer to “appendage”, and the only bone that is missing in men is actually the phallic bone when compared to other mammals, men and women have the same number of ribs.

    Edit: PS: I don’t actually take the bible’s story seriously but think it’s an interesting and funny fact.

    The fucked up thing about that is it was an intentional mistranslation for the sake of mysogyny. In the original bible, Eve was created from Adam’s equal half but some cracker decided nah lets just use an outdated definition so that she came from a small fraction of Adam instead.

    It’s like how King James censored everything even remotely approaching critique of monarchy for his funny little hotel bible.
