Why did God make men rule over women?
(Not my own words) It says it in Genesis.
Is it's God's punishment to women?
Men sinned in the same way though.... so, the punishment doesn't make sense to me...

Man doesn't. It's only God has given the husband the say in matters in a marriage, don't forget, everything in the house will most likely be because of the man and thus will be the man's because he is supposed to work forever and work to please his wife and "till soil". That doesn't mean woman cannot own property or work though, woman could own property which is why in the Bible it talks about a woman who bought her own field and land and she used her earnings to do it, Proverbs 31:15, "She picks out a field to purchase; out of her earnings she plants a vineyard". From what it appears, this gender role is only temporary though because of what happened in the garden is why. It said that Eve was deceived and then deceived Adam. It wasn't that way before remember, God only got mad at Eve and said while incredibly angry this, about the role of husband wife, AFTER she disobeyed God and tricked Adam. Perhaps the roles would be switched if Adam had been deceived and then deceived Eve. Moreover, if a woman doesn't like the way she is being treated in a relationship she voluntarily enters, she can always leave at any time. And in the Bible it is a choice of the woman, the man cannot force her to listen, he can't beat like in the Qur'an, she can either choose to follow the man's leadership or not and it's on her she personally if she doesn't. It's an optional gender role, that if you don't like, you can leave at any time. Just pick a man who agrees to consult you, and make you happy, and more. Which a man should work to make his wife happy which is why it says all the time something about a man working to make his wife happy so much so that you should watch out because it can distract you from your duties to God.

Disagreed, because Eve is made by Adam rib and not feet. When God said rib, we as a man should suppose to take care of them and not take them like a servant. Man should suppose to think that women is not a tool. If we take a research about them, a successful man has a great women behind them. If the women behind them is wonderful, their husband should too. :)

Because we each have our roles. We are fallen from what was perfect and right. Men have a great responsibility, to love God, their wives and their families. They are the protectors and providers. Their role is to lead their families to salvation, and to die for them if needed.
Women are the life-bearers, the ones who nurture and care for their families.
Each role is unique and has divine purpose.
Human beings, mess it up all the time. Men are to rule with benevolence, with love, and with respect for God and their families. Women are to care for the family with love and respect for God and their husbands and children.
Men and women seeking God and a holy life, come to know this and practice it.
