John Milton's intentions were not ones of misogyny in Paradise Lost. Eve liked her position in the world. God made the hierarchy and God made Adam above Eve and Adam below God. It was just the way it was and everyone was happy that way. One might argue and say that Eve always walked away when the angels were explaining the important aspects of life or the stories of the Battle of Heaven and Hell to Adam, but Milton clearly states that Eve wasn't left out on purpose. She preferred Adam's retellings because it was more fun that way for her. They flirted with each other and he took breaks in his storytelling to kiss her. It was another way for them to be closer. Milton even shows a suggestion of inner strength in the description of the power Eve has over Adam after she has eaten the fruit and persuades Adam to share in her sin. Hope that helps!
