"Let the women learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. For Adam was first formed, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression." (I Timothy 2:11-14)
Timothy was written by Paul to this protege in Ephesus which was known for its female diety Artemis, the protectress of girls and women.
Boisterous women, and men, full of Greek mythologies. As with Corinth, it was a port city directly to the east of Corinth in the Mediterranean sea. The same troubles in Corinth were in Ephesus. Priestesses of Artemis sought to carry over their priestly skills, priestly garments and fashions and gold etc into the new religion yet they were still new learners. You can guess the bickering, arguing, oppossing that went on.
Adam created first then Eve created from him, there is no issue there. The serpent cheated Eve to eat the fruit, that is true. But Adam ate it knowing full well it was the one they were forbidden to eat. He was not cheated into eating it.
