So I was walking back to my dorm with two of my classmate. There was this guy from Milan who seemed to be skeptical about the Church and her teachings, a very nice guy though.

Nice Guy : ... I mean, I can't even understand why would a woman want to be a Christian. The bible says that you are made out of a man's rib cage. Isn't that degrading?
Me : ... (stunned) Are you kidding me? That woman was created from a man's rib cage is the most romantic thing ever!

I remember reading something like this. A woman was not created from a man's head to be above him, nor was she created from his foot to be under him. A woman was taken from a man's side to stand beside him, from beneath his arm to be protected by him, from near his heart to be loved by him.

How could it be degrading? Let's see how much I got from my primary biology. Rib protects vital organs such as heart and lungs. Just imagine how the rib cage would let itself to be broken to protect the heart from damages. It shows exactly what an honorable creature a woman is to a man. You, woman, support him as the rib cage support the body. You are the rib that protects what is within himself.
