We all have free will.
God told Adam not to eat the fruit from that particular tree, just like God told Eve. Adam had the same information as Eve. Adam made a free-will choice to eat the forbidden fruit, just like Eve. Adam could have stood his ground.
Legitimately, can Adam pick and choose what choices for which he himself takes responsibility? Seems some men can, at times. (Women do it too!)
Neither is Eve absolved because the serpent tricked her.
I have encountered multiple men who blame Eve for Adam's bad choice in the Genesis story. Adam made his own bad choice.
The Good News is Jesus!
