For Adam's Delight

This text stunned me because I didn't know how God had such a big preference for Adam (meaning I didn’t know how sexist the Bible was). He created a huge garden were he could live carelessly and only had to tend of the garden. Like the Bible stated, "And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the Garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it. And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:" (Genesis 2:15-16). He didn't need to work for his food and everything in it was beautiful. Then he created animals to give him company and to be under his rule (he could eat them whenever he wanted). After that, he created Eve to give Adam some company. Only because Adam felt lonely did God think of creating a partner for him. This means God didn't see women as a priority for the universe. So, since the beginning, women have been less than men. It is so weird even God himself says that women have to be men's company, and wouldn't exist if man hadn't needed a little company. It’s sad how even God forgets the importance of women in the universe.
