Javier,
Eve’s eyes were not opened until the fruit was being digested so that it was becoming a part of her. Same for Adam. It happened to them together. If Adam had eaten first and the women ate right after him, it would have been the same eyes opening as the fruit acted as a poison not immediately but on digestion into the body.

However, if both were equals why was Adam responsible for what the woman did?

The Bible doesn’t say that Adam was responsible for what the woman did. God did not ask Adam what Eve did. God asked Eve what she did. God called Adam to account only for what He did or what He didn’t do but not for what Eve did. He carried the responsibility because he deliberately ate with his eyes wide open without deception.
