“Then Yahweh God used the portion from Adam's side and skillfully crafted* a woman and presented her to him.
*This verb is not used for anything else in the creation account, only for the woman. It takes one verse to describe the creation of man, six verses to describe the creation of woman.”

“This one will be called ‘Woman,' for she was taken from man."
“Just as God reached into himself and took a portion of his being (image and likeness to make man, he reached into man and took a portion of Adam to sculpt the. woman. If Adam is dust refined, then the woman is double refined, for she was taken from man and shaped again by God's hand.”

“I will fashion a suitable partner to be his help and strength (ezer).”
This is the Hebrew word 'ezer’, a term frequently used for military help and ascribed to God himself fourteen times (e.g., Pss. 33:20; 54:4). It could be translated "strong rescuer." We would never say that God is inferior to man, nor should we say the woman is inferior to man, for both God and the woman are 'ezer’.
Great context!
