A long tie ago (the 80's) I read an alternative version of the "Garden of Eden" story that has stayed with me, but I haven't been able to lock it down it again. I'd be interested to know the origin, if you've heard of it.
It went something like this:
Eve was created first, but she grew lonely, da-da-da-da...
God removed her penis and created Adam from it, so she wouldn't be lonely.
That makes topographic sense.
But then, Eve was the one the serpent appealed to, which makes her the natural leader, and thus also the first to eat of the fruit, which, she was punished for.
The punishment not only increased the sorrow of child birth, but breasts, and is an argument why, Eve, like the serpent, was lowered; so to why Eve (women) was given a lower stature than Adam (man).
Its seems a more consistent story.
A great alternate presentation of Eve (Mature content)

It occurs to me that this version also "explains" to the magical mind, why women mature faster than men, Eve was "born/created" first.
Any other things better explained by one version or another?
