Genesis 1:26-28 read and analyzed: the Hebrew word 'adam' refers to mankind (male and female), not just the male.

Genesis 1 analysis -- the creation passage

Egalitarian quotes: Belleville, Keener, and Payne all argue that Gen 3:16 is descriptive of fallen conditions, not prescriptive, and should not be enforced by church rules.

Egalitarian argument: the curse should be overturned, not propagated

Philip Payne Linda Belleville Gen 3:16
Mike Winger idea 2022-03-14

Full summary of Genesis 1-3: Genesis 1 = equal image/dominion; Genesis 2 = different roles with husband's limited leadership; Genesis 3 = the fall makes these roles much harder and introduces abuse.

Summary conclusion so far: husband's authority is pre-fall and part of God's design, but it should not limit women's dominion over creation.
