This was then.
You forgot, that now everything is other way round.
Men have misused their masculinity.
Now it is up to eve to experience, integrate and heal the masculinity in the female body. And for Adam it is to rebalance that female aspect within, to show eve, that he´s sorry for what men have done. The two witness are healing these wounds representative for all.

See, it was necessary for eve, to go into the masculine extreme, to protect herself from the abusing masculine powers, that were all around. Now it needs to be rebelanced, and this happens trough adam as an act of love, as an act of forgiveness.
