I don't know where you're getting this from. Galatians does not say, hint, or imply that Jesus was born of a woman.

Now you know: from Galatians 4:4
And because you think it is a later interpolation, that does not mean "Galatians does not say, hint, or imply that Jesus was born of a woman".

It's not myself who believe it to be an interpolation. Tertullian had that particular statement as missing from the Marcionite (i.e., real, authentic) form. Thus I don't consider it nothing but an attempt by later Christians to instill the idea that Jesus had a mother or birth into his (Paul's) writings, as in the case of the Pastorals.

It's clear that the underlying theological belief in Marcion is:

1) Christ's death and resurrection

2) Paul's rebirth through revelation

So try again.
