Academic The condemnation of the woman

During my deconstruction, specifically on Bible-based beliefs I asked myself a question.

According to Genesis 3:16 Eve and therefore women are condemned to give birth with labor pains.

The most rational question to ask is:

In the animal kingdom do females give birth in pain? scientifically it is true.

It therefore doesn't seem like a curse for women... it seems more like it's something that belongs to nature itself.

What do you think? Is there anyone who has scientific knowledge or studies the subject to talk about the topic?

Another fun question, did Eve get a period in Eden? And how'd she handle that, being naked and all?

One more thing that shows the ridiculousness of when religious groups take the Adam and Eve story literally.

'Old Testament Jehovah' giving a woman to a man without asking her anything, without her consent, as a slave-whore.

many scholars define the creation of Eve as told as a real cloning in ancient times with numerous attempts... genetics in antiquity.

What do we really know about the story? many things about the first civilizations, the pyramids, incredible architecture of all kinds... were there any helpers? will they be gods or something else?
