Eve did not "deserve" authority because she was betrayed by a snake, causing humanity as a whole, including Adam, to fall from grace.
I wonder what the benefit is in having authority when people ascribe authority to speakers who flatter them by confirming their prejudices or assumptions about the nature of our world.
I have no authority, just like Eve. I get marked down if I point out this infantile approach to structuring reality. So no authority for me. None.
Nonetheless, just like a snake, I know every single one of your ins and outs. I can even sense the rhythm of your heartbeat by the degree of heat on my tongue.
