Still doesn't create a mandate as some are arguing.

What you are basically saying is that the criminal is the innocent and the innocent is the criminal, like this:
The sin - woman putting herself under man.
The result - women being suppressed by men.
The traditional and orthodox (or mandated) view is this:
The sin - woman deceiving man
The result - man ruling over women
The criminal, the woman, received the result of her crime.
In your view, the underlying, even sinister theme that is plainly obvious to me and anyone else who holds to the traditional, orthodox view, is that women are innocent and men are the criminals.
What much of the lemon verses actually are is Satan's inquisitive questions causing people to doubt the truth of God's Word.
Consider all of the questions posed, like this one
"did God really say that man should rule over woman"?
Sounds very much like the original question Satan posed to Eve:
"Did God really say that you would die if you eat the forbidden fruit"?
