For some biblical figures really far back, yes, but as a punishment for normal (real) people?

According to the bible, Eva is the literal second human and first woman and IIRC lived for hundreds of years, so no, she’s not normal or real.

But the millions of women who suffer from pain during birth on her behalf are normal and real.

Yeah, she really shouldn’t have listen to the snake. Women could have been giving birth like a giraffe: Just standing there, muching on a snack while the baby just falls out.
