Which bone was Eve made from?

It's as Aunt Spiker says. Removing something from Adam would not cause his offspring to lack that trait. If you cut the tails off two mice and let them breed their children will have tails because removing a body part does not change the gamete genetics.

Good point. Also, yanking a bone out of someone and trying to create a person from it doesn't work. That too.
 
Which bone she was created from is really highly irrelevant. The relevant part of the story is that she was created FROM Man and as a HELPER for Him. Of coures what most people also miss is that in many (if not most) mythologies it is a WOMAN who brings evil into the world. Beyond the Eve story, we have Pandora as the main (though not only) example of that. When multiple mythologies have similar concepts in them, it tends to tell me that there's a greater truth behind the stories.

Whenever I hear the story of Adam's rib I can't help but think to the time when women were considered the property of men in many places in the world. I know that sounds like modern, feminist spin, but I don't mean it that way. I am thinking more in the traditional way, before the modern world started equalizing the social status of the genders.

Eve being made from Adam's rib implies she is deeply connected to the man, and her very existence is owed to the man's purpose. In other words, the woman is there as a character role to further the plot of the man. We see this EVERYWHERE in modern literature, movies, etc. Woman often have trivial supportive roles in movies who are just there to further the man's role, but we never really learn much about the woman herself. The Bible seems to do this.

Also, what happened to Lilith? And Sarah? There were other women in the garden. There were also, potentially, multiple "Adams" depending on how you interpret the Bible, so there may have even been more men.

Where is Lilith mentioned in the Scriptures?

Gee, Tigger, didn't see that one coming.

Helper, yes, man needs all the help he can get....
therefore in no way do I get the idea that God sees the woman as inferior to man.
