^This will just be the thoughts that are aligning right now according to what you are asking, there's no certainty, nor do I back myself up 100%

Eto has a lot going on with symbolism and biblical actions. I like to compare her with Hisoka from HxH; she picks out seeds and plants them, she patiently waits until they ripen to beautiful fruits to pluck and eat. In Eto's case that's literally eating. But she also has this weird "honorable" feature in that principle of hers. She sees herself also as a fruit on that tree and if another fruit manages to pluck her instead, she'll be fine with that outcome. As long as her genes live on in someone else she'll be fine with it, although she has her preferences ofcourse.

A lot of people forget that Kaneki had the upperhand in this fight, because Eto had no clue what Kaneki was capable off, so he had the element of suprise on his side this time.

Another possibility, which a lot of people don't like to hear either is that Eto said that they are totally the same. To hear her say that is pretty big. I also felt like Eto only attacked with sexual harassing attacks, not really deadly attacks. So It could very well be on purpose that she lost. She first wanted to kill him, but it seemed like she had something in mind as bringing him back as her child... Maybe she liked it better the way it went, letting Kaneki chop of her waist and make it look like he came out of the One-Eyed Owl's womb, her child born. I think a sick romance might give this series some extra spice to look forward too, but don't compare it too a standard ship. This is a serious declaration of love or lust, we're already on the level of eating out of once ass...
