You're using the convention of using terms like "mankind" to mean
only men to the exclusion of women. By that logic, the scriptures which
promise we will all be sons of God must exclude women.
No, I don't believe you're correct.

The reason we are born fallen is because of the "iniquity of the fathers"
our inheritance from the first Adam on.
Yes.
It comes down through the father ....
Where do you find that in scripture?
JT:
All of the following relate to generational sin:
Exodus 20:5 God is jealous visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon
children to 3rd & 4th generation....
Exodus 34:7 God will by no means clear the guilty visiting the iniquity
of the fathers.....
Lev 26:39 ...and also in the iniquities of their fathers shall they pine
away with them...
Num 14:33 ...Your sons shall bear your whoredoms until your carcasses be
wasted in the wilderness...
Job 21:19 ... God layeth up his iniquity for his children
Isa 14:21 ... for the iniquity of their fathers that they do not rise nor
possess the land...
Jer 32:18 ...and repay the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of
their children...
This can also be traced in families, for example Cain the first murderer;
God judged him but didn't kill him and so Lamech who was either grandson
or ggrandson also killed a man. God gives a measure of time for men to
repent and when this does not happen eventually he wipes out the whole
line as he has done with Ahab and others..
Jeremiah 31 and Ezekiel 18 both say the same thing and that is - that
this progression can stop IF the man is righteous.
But Romans 3:10 tells us that there is none righteous, no not one. That
is, with the exception of Jesus;
Grace and Peace,
