    God created the SEXES, one from scratch & one from a rib.

    People created genders.

    How is it so hard to understand the difference between the two concepts?

      Because people get really hung up on whether your sex or gender determines what bathroom you should use in public.

      Going from that premise, it may be concluded that God didn’t want genders, otherwise he would have created them.

      Which I don’t subscribe to, but is definitely something used against LGBTQ people by bigots.

        “god doesn’t make mistakes” cuts both ways. if you’re not comfortable with your assigned gender, that’s because god made you that way, and therefore your actions to correct your problems is part of gods plan

          This always got the idea across quite nicely:
          “I’m beautiful in my way
          'Cause God makes no mistakes
          I’m on the right track, baby
          I was born this way”

        It’s all made up BS, specially when it involves God. So… interpret however you want, cause it’s literally whatever you decide.

    Ackushally he made an abomination that was both genders that he cut in half to separate the two genders. The “rib” is just a polite way of saying cut down the middle. And I think why the ballsack and taint has a zipper line. I don’t know, it’s all silly anyways, but at least get the deep lore right!

      The “rib” is just a polite way of saying cut down the middle.

      Nah, it’s not a “rib” that’s the sanitized version.

      Humans are one of the only mammals without a literal dick bone. The myth was good created Eve (the second wife) out of the dick bone. And that’s why humans don’t have a dick bone.

      Not even being funny:

      Penile bones are common in the skeletal structure of male mammals, particularly carnivores and primates where they function anatomically as a stiffening rod. Lacking this bone, human males must rely on fluid hydraulics to maintain an erection. The ancient writer of our story asked himself a question: Why do human males lack this bone? His answer was that it had been taken from Adam to make woman.

      https://library.biblicalarchaeology.org/article/was-eve-made-from-adams-rib-or-his-baculum/

      The “zipper line” according to the myth is how God removes the dick bone:

      We find the answer in a little-noticed physical condition in men. A slight seam of light flesh, referred to as a perineal raphé, exists on the underside of the human penis. When a male fetus is about ten weeks old, the edges of the urogenital groove on the underside of the penis begin to fold together over the urogenital sinus (cavity). This process leaves a scar where the two sides come together. Most men are unaware of it, but it is in fact visible after birth and throughout life as a straight line of scar tissue on the underside of the penis.

      It appears that the Bible here ascribes the origin of this scar/seam to the “closing of the flesh” after the os baculum was removed from Adam’s penis to form the woman. It responds to the question: Where does that particular scar-like line come from?

          We’re not sure.

          Theres a couple theories that put it on monogamy and society, basically that once we became “civilized” it was no longer needed to prolong reproduction because a woman wouldn’t leave and immediately have sex with someone else before the first guy’s swimmers finished the race.

          It’s probably a result of one of the many many bottlenecks our species went thru, one pretty far back because no modern human has a dick bone. But still after hominids split from primates.

          Whoever made it thru that bottleneck had no dick bones or ones so little it didn’t matter when they went away, so now none of us have it.

          I’d really be interested in if other hominds had it, would help narrow down the date. But good luck getting a study on neanderthal dick bones funded these days…

          Edit:

          Maybe bipedalism?

          Humans are one of the few animals that go thru life “dick first”, if we retained a dick bone, then if we walked into something, our dicks would hit it first. So that would be evolutionary pressure strong enough to make it go away. A broken dick bone probably wouldn’t be good for reproduction even after it healed.

          We could probably look at how much time primates spend on two legs, and find a correlation to how small their dick bone is on average

          But I probably need to stop thinking about dicks now.

          I don’t really know so this is basically an ass-pull, but “boner” as referring to an embarrassing public mistake seems to predate its use as referring to an erection, at least based on its relative frequency in innocent contexts. I assume this came to refer to an embarrassing public erection. You don’t really tend to hear it used in a flattering way. When it happens in a romance novel, it’s an “erection” or “engorged manhood”, when it happens right before a high schooler gets called up to the board, it’s a “boner”.

    Wrong, God created Adam and Lilith

    The rib one only came about because Lilith was a feminist
