However I do feel the verses tell us that woman, when they was made on the sixth day (Genesis1: 27) were made second to man. The rib in Genesis 2:22 is a segolate form in Hebrew which can be read as rib-bone-bone marol. It is misleading to believe man has one less rib then woman, because it is not true. But to understand that woman was made by the bone marol of man making her as Adam said , This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. She was made like man yet different in appearance. The appearance of the flesh was not yet introduces in awareness of any shame,(Genesis2:25) and the scripture before that went on to say.. Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. Clearly meaning a man and woman will leave mother and father to marry each other when the time comes and cleave unto her.
In the next chaper Genesis 3:4 has Satan telling woman the opposite truth from what God has warned. The deception begins in woman listening to Satan. Adam and Eve were married, and yet she is looking upon what Satan has offered. And I believe woman touched upon the idea of nudedness having desire, with Satan as the tree showing the knowledge of this idea is the evilness. Woman there of ate of it from the tree, and gave ALSO to her husband. We can read how this desire was offered to Adam secondly, and quoted in scripture: a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.
So Cain was conceived out of weblock with another other then her husband, or before God intended and against God's warning. Either way it was by desire of the flesh which Satan offered in knowledge.
Genesis 3:16 Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire [shall be] to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.
Note desire will be for her husand... he rules over her so there is no going by another suggestion from someone other then him.
Genesis 3:17 And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat [of] it all the days of thy life;
Note it is that Adam ate of the same tree, and the scripture said a tree to be desired.(Genesis 3:6)
