Eve's deception (1 Tim 2:14): does NOT mean women are more easily deceived

Mike forcefully argues that 1 Tim 2:14 ('Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and became a transgressor') does NOT teach that women are more easily deceived than men. His reasons: (1) Adam also sinned — he was not deceived but willfully disobeyed, which is arguably worse; (2) Paul does not say 'because women are more easily deceived'; (3) The text says Eve 'became a transgressor,' highlighting her specific role in the Fall narrative, not making a claim about all women's cognitive abilities; (4) Using this verse to claim women are gullible is 'abusive and cruel' — it reads something into the text that is not there; (5) The point is about the narrative pattern from Genesis, not about female intellectual capacity. Mike states this is a misreading he finds deeply offensive to women and unsupported by the text.
