I prefer the theory based on the latin word being more general and meaning protrusion, and not just rib. Which leaves us with the potential that eve was made from Adam’s penis bone and that’s why humans don’t have one.
Or the original Hebrew (or Aramaic, I can’t remember) word ‘tsela’ meaning ‘side’ or ‘half’ (the same word used for talking about one side of a double door). Much less sexist than rib.
Hebrew speaker here, I haven’t heard it used to describe doors (maybe it’s used in professional lingo?), but it’s definitely used for the sides of a polygon, e.g. a triangle has 3 sides = למשולש יש 3 צלעות.
Worth noting that modern spoken Hebrew is significantly different from biblical Hebrew so it’s not out of the question that the meanings of words have been warped over time. And I’m no expert in either language.

It is used in another place in the Bible for this.
used for the sides of a polygon
That’s probably a better example. I only picked the doors example because it was the best one that I knew of an instance of the word being used that way.
“God created Eve from ’aḥat miṣṣal‘otaiv (אַחַת מִצַּלְעֹתָיו), traditionally translated as “one of his ribs”. The term can mean curve, limp, adversity and side.”, per Wikipedia
Different sources somehow use different words, so I’m curious what the actual words were.
Not an actual argument from your point, as it can still be translated as side, but the video and all other instances I can find differ on the actual words used.
But this is why language context matters, a word being able to be used in multiple ways muddies the waters of intention when viewed from a perspective of 2500 years later.
how does adam keep his tree throng from constantly falling off? that shit does not look secure
The chastity is but a service for our christian eyes, for shame did not exist in the garden of eden. Indeed, Adam did walk with that thing in full swing, for then, the gentle sway of his wangdoodle was no more a sinful offence than birds singing, nor Eve’s hooters honking, amen
Praise be
amen

and Adam said unto God, “how will I cook these delicious meats?” and God did answer, and did bestow upon Adam a charcoal grill most holy, that he might cook those tasty meats upon it.
and Adam spake"but gas grills are more versatile ", and God smited Adam for his heresy
