I thought the Bible wasn't written in King James English but the Old Testament was written in Hebrew, and the New Testament written in Greek and no matter how accurately some of the words are translated into English, English words sometime cannot encompass the entire meaning of the orginal wording used so people concerned about accuracy of translation are sometimes helped by finding the full meaning of the word as meant in the language it was written in. Perhaps you can tell us what Hebrew word was used for 'desire'...it could well be in a slightly different context then what you are presenting or could emphasize it.
Here's another take on the same text, not to say you are wrong and I am not saying this is right but it is another interpretation:
37 Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all. God of his fathers In rhetoric the Roman Catholic church had the same God as did their fathers (the leaders of the early church), but in practice Christianity had been paganized.
Desire of women This was Christ. See on ge0316. Celibacy which the Bible didn't require also fulfilled this. Neither regard ... above The leaders were responsible to no one.
God of his fathers The theology of the papal church which had been in place before the revolution.
Desire of women Marriage was only a civil contract, easily broken. One watchword was "Crush the wretch" meaning Christ.

17a And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;

Adam Hebrew, adam, which means "man." This is the first appearance of the word as a name "Adam." Prior occurrences in the KJV ge0219, ge0223, ge0308,9. are also translated in the KJV "Adam" although the text actually reads ha'adam or "the man." God no longer refers to him as the special one created with the divine hands and breath but as a man, fallen as others would be who were to follow. Comments begin at the left.
Hearkened unto the voice of thy wife Adam knew he was sinning. As Eve had accepted the serpent's appeal above that of her creator, so Adam had made Eve a higher authority than the life giver. He would suffer from the dust and eventually return to it. He had also despised His role as spiritual leader of the family. (To hearken to means to pay close attention to � here "to accept.").
We must not assume from this that women cannot go directly to God or that they are inferior. In fact, above, we saw that the Lord addressed Eve when He gave the promise of a redeemer. As a help-meet the wife's role is simply different. Man and wife are to stand side by side.
