Where does the persistent claim about the female imperfection, which is found in almost all religions and certainly in Judaism and Christianity came from?

Eve is the first culprit that has ravaged everyone in the world of sin. Because of that fatal apple, women are blamed for all possible vices; they are imperfect", "made of curved bone", "devil's door" ...

For at least nineteen centuries, the Church and its theologians have contradictory feelings towards the woman. They like her to be sweet, virgin or devoted mother. But at the same time, they suspect her that deeply inside she is an eternal prostitute, a wicked witch, or a dumb idiot. Even the women saints were not always pleasant to the Church because they tried to get out of anonymity, and that did not correspond to the modesty inherent in their sex. The Church has always wanted only and only obedience to the woman; has stubbornly opposed her education, her access to cultural values ​​and the world of work.
