Why did I even title it "The Other Gender"?
Well, I the writer, am a male, so, you could tell the gender I am referring to, right?
But is it because of the way they were created, according to the Bible, that makes them this complicated, or is it that they are actually anatomically complicated that makes them this way?
How were they created, to start with?
In Genesis 2:21, 22 & 23, "And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;
And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.
And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man."
Now, man was first created. The Creator then saw the need to create someone who could complement and assist man, since he could not do it all alone. But then, He didn't want to create this person the same way he created man, and He didn't want him to even be aware of what was going on or how He wanted to do it, which is why He caused him to have a deep sleep, before doing the rest.
Let's take notes of these:
1. That was the beginning of the complications, causing me to sleep before creating someone for me.
2. The sand wasn't finished in the earth, yet You chose to take a rib out of mine and covered it up like nothing happened. Wait a minute, have you noticed how secretive these other gender people can be? Gosh! Just try them.
3. After taking away my rib, while I was asleep, He went somewhere I knew not about, who knows, probably added other ingredients, but definitely not sand. Else, they wouldn't be this strong at heart. Also, who knows, maybe the Creator added some things like iron, zinc, steel, etc, to the rib from me in creating this person.
4. When He finished what He finished, He brought her to me. She was totally complete and even much more endowed than me. Could this be the reason why she (well, it was a she that was created for me, not another he: Eve, not Steve) thinks she can do whatever it is I can, and even better. And she wouldn't let me be, always rubbing shoulders with me.
Adam called her Eve. Eve is the evening before a given day. Could it be that she was created at night? I wouldn't be surprised if she was. You could ask a man same questions in different times and you would get same answer. But trust me, a woman has different answers for same question asked at different times. And her answers to questions might not be exactly like they sound. Her yes, could be anything: it could be, "Yes, I do" or "Yes, I don't agree". But 'Yes' is the answer. She would never give you a detailed answer.
