in this patriarchal society, how did woman get stuck with blame if a deity gave the command directly to a woman, then she is blamed and given quite the chore and tail end of the punishment?
I'd rather get Adam's punishment any day, no matter what sex I was born...big deal work hard...that has moral and honor

command given to Adam not Eve (I think are symbolic or figurative not real)

you said it. It is because the men who wrote the bible were misogynistic piggies who hated female power and the Divine Feminine and the Goddess, and did everything they could to denigrate, debase, and oppress women.
we are taking our power back, and the resistance to the Goddess and female spirituality is very strong. We will not be denied any longer.

first of all, Adam did get the blame, not eve... read your Bible. forever Adam will be remembered as the reason sin entered into the world, and eve we have sympathy for because she was beguiled... this is the way it should be. Second of all, Adam's punishment wasn't just that he would work hard, it was that no matter how hard he worked he'd never get everything he worked for. Now a man has to find a way to provide for the family that he doesn't get to spend as much time with as he would like to, be the pillar of strength, take the heat for whatever direction the family goes, and know that if he leads his family in the wrong direction he's damaging his relationship with God greatly. Eve was guilty of listening to the devil, and so now she'll have pain doing what the devil hates and comfort doing what the devil wants and will still be expected to fear God. The man now has to be frustrated and feel less worth doing what the devil hates, and recieve satisfaction doing what the devil loves, and is still expected to be the unmoveable pillar of love and devotion to his family. Both punishments are very rough.

First, Eve did NOT get blamed for what Adam did. Eve was guilty only for what Eve did.
Second, Adam told Eve of God's restriction, otherwise satan could not question what God had told her. She didn't respond to satan's lies with "I never heard THAT!!!", but rather, "God told us ..."
Third, because of Adam, earth now has thorns and thistles, and death came upon all of mankind because of Adam's sin, not because of Eve.
Finally, the "moral and honor" of hard work that you mentioned was NOT the situation. Today, we consider a good work-ethic honorable, but they did not live in our culture in our society. Back then there were no plows, no Case IH tractors, not even hand tools.
If they were going to eat, he had to first build the tools, then use the tools, and it truly WAS "by the sweat of your brow" that they ate bread.
I hope this helps in your understanding. The culture was different, and so were the requirements for survival. They didn't have big screen TVs to relax in the evenings, nor books, not even neighbors to visit. Just the two of them and lots of hard labor just to survive.

in the story, all three of them are blamed and punished. its not all just eve.
as for you wanting to get adam's punishment any day over eve's, you can rest assured that men living three thousand years ago who worked gruelingly hard doing backbreaking work in the fields from dawn to dusk every day of their lives would not have thought that they got the lesser punishment. calling it merely "working hard" is a joke.

Eve gave in to the temptation first, Adam like all men thought with his penis and listened to Eve. There seems to be lesson here, right or wrong, that is not often pointed out. That lesson is men who take the advice of women are stupid. It is seen in the culture of the time and still in some cultures where women have no say in anything., their opinions are considered worthless and they are like tools for men.
Eve obviously did get the worse punishment.

God told Adam and Adam told Eve. Eve disobeyed God through satanic deception

Then, praytell, WTF does it teach ??? A bullet hollow between the eyes proves the physique grew to become into shot lifeless, yet there are no Fingerprints, DNA, photographic or video evidence etc, to instruct that he grew to become into murdered. Absence of evidence isn't evidence of absence. Many human charlatans (like Nostradamus, Edgar Cayce and others) have tried to predict the destiny yet have failed, and basically the Writers of the Bible have a a hundred% precise checklist. . . .

Both were blamed. Both were punished. It is written "through one man, Adam, sin entered into the world".

This just shows you that the Bible was written by men, and men of a culture that believed women were sub-human compared to men. So, of course, Eve "takes the hit" for TEMPTING Adam. All she did was tell him to get dressed...
