“Adam didn’t desire to rule over Eve either – he judt DID rule over her.”

pinklight,
I’m not following you – how do you think Adam could rule without the will/want/desire to do so?

Kay, what I’m saying is that there is a difference between Adam’s actions and Eve’s feeling (desire). Ofcourse Adam desired to rule Eve because out of that desire he would rule her, but the text is showing us his action vs. Eve’s emotion. What it comes down to then is that there is no way to pin down any sinful action she had done against Adam out of her desire for him whereas in Adam’s case he did do something to his wife.
