Mike's conclusion on Gen 3:16: Eve's desire is to rule/control her husband, but the husband will rule over her -- this is NOT a healthy or ideal situation; it's a description of the fall's consequences.

Mike's interpretation of Genesis 3:16

Mike concludes that Gen 3:16 describes a post-fall power struggle: the woman will desire to control her husband, but the husband will rule over her. This is not a healthy prescription -- Gen 3:16 does not describe an ideal to be propagated. It's a description of the fallen condition. Egalitarians primarily lean on this point: the 'rule' is a bad thing resulting from the fall that should not be perpetuated.
