Consider this early church father's reflection on the disobedience of Eve and the redemption through Christ's birth:staff edit
"The knot of Eve's disobedience was loosened by Mary's obedience. The bonds fastened by the virgin Eve through disbelief were untied by the virgin Mary through faith." (St Ireneous, Against heresies,3:22)
The men here who seem to think that women are beneath men due to their disobedience/ unfaithfulness should take a look at the many women in the Bible who stood up for Christ when all the men left Him, who showed strength in their faith, and were devoted to Christ. The disobedience found in the Old Testament has a strong opposition in the testament of the women in the New Testament. Also, there are just as many godly women in the OT as disobedient ones. There is neither male not female, or Jew or Gentile in Christ Jesus. Christ blessed many women, and many of them followed Christ when the men abandoned Him.
