I don't agree with that.
Both genders have their weaknesses and, generally speaking, the other gender holds the cards concerning that weakness. Nothing Eve did had to do with seduction or temptation. What Eve did had to do with being able to be swayed by persuasive argument and failing to see the law as absolute. This is a case of "following ones heart" which is a tendency more prevalent for the female of the species.
Both male & female bring their own brand of strengths to humanity and both have their own set of areas where they are more easily led astray. The strengths of one support the weakness of the other and, together, we are a stronger species.
When one gender views the other gender with disdain or views them as "weak" as a gender then the respect between genders necessary for us to learn from one another is not present and we all lose.
