They were both thrown out of the garden....if you trust the literal translation of what men wrote about what they think God did. There are many parables and other allegorical stories in the Bible.Why was Adam exempt from the transgression when the transgression was disobedience?
"Let the women learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. For Adam was first formed, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression." (I Timothy 2:11-14)
I think that Adam, not being deceived, was more culpable than Eve.
Why then did God favor the guiltiest, Adam, with, --- he shall rule over you?
Men rule over women? Why when men were not deceived but disobeyed?
What was the transgression, --- if not a wise decision to choose knowledge and wisdom and shun immortality of the flesh, --- even if that were possible, --- and why was Adan not punished as hard as Eve when he was clearly more guilty?

True but one was master and the other a slave. Why is that si when the master screwed up more than the slave?
Why was woman punished more when the man is the one who disobeyed?

Being the lesser of the two did not make Eve a slave. Where do you get that from? Adam was severely punished. The ground had yielded unto him up until then but God said he would live thereafter by the sweat of his brow and the ground would yield thorns and thistles.
Eve transgressed because of lust, pride, and envy. Adam's transgression was because he knew or thought that God would destroy Eve and leave him alone once again.
You sound like a feminist to me. Since when has a woman been below a man in reality? Most men I know bend over backwards to make their wife happy. Get real.
You have added quite a lot to the story and distorted it completely.
Your own bible tells you not to do so. Get back to the script as given, without your adding so much to it and we can chat.
This is all from your own imagination and is thus not relevant to our discussion. "Eve transgressed because of lust, pride, and envy. Adam's transgression was because he knew or thought that God would destroy Eve and leave him alone once again."
As to equality, only a fool would think we have it in the West when women still only make about 70% of what men make for the same work.
You seem to judge all marriages by your own. Not a good idea.

Are you judging all marriages by perhaps your own failed marriage?
Perhaps you need to read Gen. 3:16 - 3:19?
Why did you post this thread since it is obviously just another "victim" rant? Your real concern is inequality in the pay of women. You should have made your OP to that concern.
Most upper positions are offerings and subject to negotiation. Any corporation will make an initial offering to anyone, male or female, at a lower rate of salary and benefits than they really expect someone to accept. If anyone accepts the offering, they have only their own greed to blame for it. Perhaps women are not as adept at negotiating as men are. We are all individuals, both men and women are individuals, and are free to either accept or turn down an offering.
