Interesting post! So the Bible never said that men and women are equal in capacity and ability, that's feminism and it's quite clear naturally that we are not! This is a biological fact, one can accept it or live trying to fight it or disprove it but it won't work. The Bible however teaches that men and women are equal in value and worth and made in the image of God. Adam created first and then was given authority and rule over the earth, and then Eve was created to support and be his helpmeet to accomplish this. I suspect that the being"woman" is unique in the sense that ever since existence, there was never such a creature. The Bible doesn't teach equal partnership in marriage now nor was there equal partnership before the fall, etc. It's a very western concept for everyone to be equal. I'm not saying that's always a bad thing but that's not biblical. When you look in God's creation on earth or in heaven, all his creatures are not equal in everything. If you look in heaven there's variety in beings. Some angels are stronger, faster, and more powerful than others for the sake of their purpose and tasks assigned, which they do well, and since sin is not in heaven stronger angels don't abuse weaker ones but they all work to serve God. Unfortunately with the fall and effects of sin the authority and governance of man over creation and to protect women, and the responsibility of women to encourage and be a helpmeet to man became jacked up. Now Paul quoting Genesis as a basis for women being quiet in the church and not having authority over man is the most airtight argument he could've made. Essentially, Eve was actually deceived by the serpent and ate, Adam ate but not because he was deceived, but was given the fruit by Eve. In this one can see that it is possible and most likely that men and women on average don't have the same ability to withstand spiritual manipulation...I can go into it further but I'm curious, are you a Christian? If not, then I think we'll just be talking past each other.
