Androcentrism teaches us to believe God is male. It also teaches that Adam was created in God’s image, therefore, male. However, mankind of Genesis 1 was created male and female. In Genesis 3, Adam was created. God took the rib out of Adam and created Eve as a separate feminine being. Biblical sources state that the original text of rib could also mean side, so … Adam had his feminine side taken out of him, pun intended. The emergence of Eve was the emergence of a female Adam. One might say that on that day a male Adam as a separate being was born also, since previously both the male and the female attributes were expressed within the one body of Adam.
