I think that Adam, not being deceived, was more culpable than Eve.
And most commentators agree with you about this. Adam was not deceived but sinned consciously. And scripture doesn't let him off the hook. They were both cast out of Eden and from that point on he had to fight nature to grow food, which hadn't been the case before. Adam is also always the one identified as the cause of the sin and its transmission to his descendants: "By one man sin entered the world." He had the authority and therefore the responsibility, besides also the greater sin because he wasn't deceived.
Eve's punishment seems to have been a perversion of her original subordinate role, which was not a liability until the Fall, after which she was subjugated rather than merely subordinate. The subjugation of women by men has been pretty apparent in all cultures, and contrary to the idea on another thread here that it's "religion" that is the cause of it, in fact Jesus Himself liberated women to a great extent and that became the basis over time for women's greater freedoms in the west.
