According to the Abrahamic religions, Adam and Eve are the first man and woman respectively on the earth.
The story of Adam and eve is the central to the belief that God created the human beings to live in a paradise on earth.
But due to the indisciplinary action they fall away from paradise and started suffering from the present sorrows.
In the book, THE HOLY BIBLE in the chapters one to five there are two creation naratives with two different perspectives
God created ADAM from the dust and placed him in the Garden of Edens
Adam is told that he can till the ground and he can eat fruits from any of those trees but should not get the fruit from THE TREE OF KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL
Subsequently, EVE was created as the companion of Adam from one of the Adam’s rib.
Due to serpent ‘s plot Eve was forced to eat the fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Eve compelled Adam also to eat it.
God cursed the both for disobeying him.
Mistakes Made by Eve
Trusting serpent than the god
Appearance of greed
Reporting wrong information to the serpent
She is easily convinced by serpent, since she was a woman
Consequence of Adam being first
Adam was the first to the Eden Garden.
Eve was created as the companion of Adam
So , Adam leaded the world…………..

Men Vs Women as per the view of Meno (Greek General)
First of all, if you take the virtue of a man, it is easily stated that a man's virtue is this—that he be competent to manage the affairs of his city, and to manage them so as to benefit his friends and harm his enemies, and to take care to avoid suffering harm himself.
Or take a woman's virtue: there is no difficulty in describing it as the duty of ordering the house well, looking after the property indoors, and obeying her husband.[20]
Results if Eve were the first
If Eve were the first in the garden of Eden…..
Then Adam would be her companion
So, Women would be leading than men……
Hence it results in a female dominant society
Where men will be treated in the place of the women……
MatriarchyMatriarchy is the society where the female is the leading gender where
Both society and family are headed by the female gender
There are both positive and negative effects in the society which is being governed or leaded by the female gender
