The creation stories do not have all the info we would wish.
It is possible the man taught the woman wrong.
It is possible the woman misunderstood.
It is possible that God gave the woman a different command from the man.  FWIIW, I consider this the most likely, but I am not 100% sure.

There might be other possibilities.  These stories are stripped down to essentials and some would say less than essentials, but I think God knew what he was doing, as the Bible is a mirror and reveals us.

For example, we see examples where Matt Slick claims God said something but God did not actually say it.  I think Matt just misunderstands and perhaps this is because he was taught wrong.  In other words, it is a shorthand to say “God said X” when X is really our interpretation, possibly wrong.
