In "Eve's Apology in Defense of Women," what radical stance does she take? Why was it radical?

Radical stance eve took is when she disobeyed God. Man's knowledge of Good and Evil, the basis for all moral and ethical systems, is biblically a direct result of Eve's actions, but today it is not seen as a sin in itself; that is, the knowledge is not a sin, but the disobeying of God was the sin. We are proud of our moral and ethical codes, but without that first sin, we would have nothing to "boast" of.
