So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. — Genesis 1:27

We are made to be like God. Not only the guy. It’s not just her. God made both men and women in his own image. Surprisingly, this was true even before the Fall. When God made us in our mothers’ wombs, he made us in his image (Psalm 139:13–16). (Genesis 9:6). God loves people and sees something of himself in each one of us. This means that each person should be valued. No one should be insulted, put down, or cursed (James 3:9-12). People are valuable not only to God, but also to us, because they remind us of him in some way.
