One theory is that in the Bible, Eve, the woman, was the one to start evil, etc- because in pagan societies (before christianity became so widespread) men and women had different jobs but there was no dominant side.

This is a pretty complicated topic. Actually, a really long time ago, there were matriarchal societies--ones ruled by women. There are theories about small, opressed tribes of men who rose up and took over, destroyed the female-dominant culture, and replaced it with new culture/mythology/religion. It's actually pretty fascinating (and just a little bit sad), and I suggest reading some history books if you want to know more. I have this one called "When God Was a Woman", which is basically about how the male-dominated religions of the Mediterranean took over older, matriarchal ones. Definitely add that book to your reading list, and I'd also check out Virginia Woolf.
