Genesis 3:16, "desire"

Genesis 3:16

Yet your desire will be for your husband,
And he will rule over you.

Where as before sin there was not conflict between man and woman in the roles designed for them, this verse sets up the conflict between the roles of a man and a woman that came about as a consequence of sin. These words are the same as those spoken to Cain, when God says that sin desired to have him, but he should rule over sin. Before this man was the head of his wife, which was the intention of God in making man first, but without conflict. Sin, however brought about conflict, women would desire to rule over man, but he will oppressively rule over woman. There was now conflict and struggle in the roles between man and woman.
