The Hebrew word עזר כנגדו compliment/helpmeet in Genesis 2:18 is intended to mean counterpart or corresponding to - neither inferior nor superior.
Genesis makes clear that man and woman ought to be as one. (Bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh. Genesis 2:23. United together as one flesh. Genesis 2:24)
Unbiblical ''inferiority'' connotations arise from Hellenistic/Greek culture which began to influence Jewish rabbinical/political teaching much later. (Talmud)
