Christianity and its patriarchy

Christian doctrine asserts that woman was created from man, and therefore concludes woman should be subservient to man.

What if it were pointed out that all egg cells have a XX pair of chromosomes, making every zygote by default female? The only thing that can be done to change this default state is for a male to contribute the Y chromosome that could potentially lead to the embryo becoming male at some indeterminate point after conception.

So, using the same logic that derives patriarchy from the creation myth of Adam and Eve, we can instead utilize known scientific fact to construct an argument for matriarchy!
