Mark,

I agree with gengwell, Gen 3:16 is not making women doormats. It’s showing her corrupted nature within the marriage.

There is no scripture that lists Eve with a “corrupted nature”. There is nothing in the text that says “corruption”.

Her desire will be to usurp her husbands authority, and his sinful response will be to oppress his wife. Look at what i wrote regarding the grammatical similarities with Gen 4:7.

There is nothing in the text that says “usurp” and her husband would have to have an authority that wasn’t hers to “usurp”. Where did he get such an authority? God didn’t give it to him? Did he take it for himself? Did satan give it to him? Was the authority given to Adam before his wife was created or after? Please fill us in with the “facts”.
