Adam And Eve Entered This World Together As Equals, So How Did Man Become Greater?

I've been thinking about this for a while now, with so much content and discussions brewing around gender inequality.

Man and woman came to Earth together as equals, and they had almost equal idea of how the world works. What I was wondering is, if we keep the 'man's strength is more so he became greater' logic aside, what could be other factors that could have led to this great divide?

    Quote:In the Hebrew Bible of Book Of Genesis, the first human female is called אישה, isha, Eng: woman, by the first human man, Adam. She is created by Yahweh from the man's rib so as to be his wife. Adam And Eve lived in the Garden Of Eden until they were expelled.Endquote
    Hence the situation in the west.
    On the other hand in Hinduism:-
    Quote: Louis Jaccoliot, the celebrated French author of the Amazon.com: Hindoo Origin of Hebrew and Christian Revelation said: "India of the Vedas entertained a respect for women amounting to worship; a fact which we seem little to suspect in Europe when we accuse the extreme East of having denied the dignity of woman, and of having only made her an instrument of pleasure and of passive obedience." He also said: "What! here is a civilization, which you cannot deny to be older than your own, which places the woman on a level with the man and gives her an equal place in the family and in society." Endquote

    Hinduism does not differentiate genders. However, society and local culture subjugated women in India at least in certain areas or groups.

    Just as the sales and marketing division is the face of any company (generally speaking), when it comes to society, one can argue since man was responsible for sourcing food and other necessities (again, factor : strength) while the woman maintained the place and cooked food for him. So that makes man the 'face' of his family.

    It could be that all men grouped and laid down foundations for a 'society' that was more inclined towards their interests. And it kept evolving that way. Just a theory.

    Nope they did not. I firmly believe that nature opts for 'balance' over 'equality'. Now two individuals; let alone man or woman have equal abilities, skills, intelligence, awareness, aims or thoughts.

    Equality only factors in when it comes to access to basic minimum resources for survival, defined by nature (air, water, food).

    The divide is human-made. When the wicked humans began advertising the balance as a 'negative' thing. Let me explain:

    A bunch of monkeys gather together and start informing fishes that instead of being 'trapped' inside water; they should go out and explore the wonderful world on the trees. If they aren't coming out of water - then they must be inferior to the monkeys. The monkeys repeat this over a long period of time and then make some fish believe that they indeed are inferior to monkeys who jump from trees to trees while they are trapped inside water.

    What am I indicating here? The monkeys 'created' a feeling among the fish that life on trees is 'cool' and being inside water is 'uncool'. Specifically, they manufactured a lie that the better world exists outside of water; and over a period of time - the feeling got spread among all the fishes that they should rather be jumping on the trees. The monkeys continue their agenda of spreading lies in the name of advancing modern society.

    The balance is thus disturbed, and hence the great divide.
