I think it's curious that god, who apparently had direct contact with Adam and Eve for an untold amount of time, made such a poor impression on them that they did not hesitate to act contrary to his wishes. Eve doesn't question the serpent when it calls god a liar, she immediately sees the fruit of the tree in a whole new light. There is nothing that says that Adam hesitated when Eve brought him the fruit; he just went ahead and ate.
Disobeying god apparently didn't faze them. Putting aside the idea of how the fruit might have "opened their eyes" we still have the question of how a being as supposedly perfect and wonderful as god made so little impression on them that all it took to get them to flip him off was a talking snake.
Yes. If impartial minds were looking at how Genesis and Eden have been twisted out of shape by Christianity to push their male dominated female repressing desires on society, without equality, it is quite easy to see that the Jewish take that Christianity reversed, from our elevation to our fall, was way superior to what Christianity has done.

"Instead of the Fall of man (in the sense of humanity as a whole), Judaism preaches the Rise of man: and instead of Original Sin, it stresses Original Virtue [see * below], the beneficent hereditary influence of righteous ancestors upon their descendants."

Best leave it to the shrinks.
Yet if we do not, the inequality that they deny women will continue.
For evil to grow, all better minds need do is nothing.
We all owe women more than nothing. If things are to improve then those like you must try to correct foolish and immoral thinking.
