gods enduring days

For me, the Genesis was a little hard to understand. I had to read it a few times in order to really comprehend what the text was really saying. The word choice was very thrilling at some points but reading the word "and" at every few words was slightly nerve-racking. The text, however, had a few "juicy words" like: firmament. The women role was lacking through out the whole story though. the word "women" was only mentioned once and when it would mention a woman it would be written down as "his" not just "a wife" but "his wife." Sure back in the day women were not created equal or whatever, but i think the story changed. When I was younger, I was always told that God created Adam and Eve equally. I might just be just thinking that's what  I was told but who knows? So how does this make me feel? This one packet strangely makes me realize how hard women can really have it. Some men think that women can't do some of the hard jobs they can do... but then again its just the way we were somewhat raised, if that even makes sense... Women have come a long way ever sense this story took place. Well, from what I said, you can tell how I think about it, but as i sit here at 11:00 at night.... I can not really think of any legit reasons on how Genesis 1 and 2 really make me feel, but right now I'm just going to remain slightly confused about this story.
