are women created to support men

The idea that women are created to support men is a belief rooted in certain interpretations of religious texts, such as the Christian concept of a “helpmate” or the Islamic view that men are “caretakers” and “financially responsible” for women. However, other religious and secular perspectives emphasize the equal worth, partnership, and distinct yet equally valuable roles of both women and men. Interpretations of “creation order” and roles vary widely, with some arguing that “helper” or “caretaker” roles do not imply inferiority, while others view them as signs of submission, and still others reject the idea of a created hierarchy altogether.
