The pure and simply truth is this.
If two blocks of wood were set down for a man and a woman to stand on to see who is higher than the other.
They would be the exact same size.
They are equal without end in every respect and both sides should be treated as such.
Equal yes but they HAVE DIFFERANT JOBS IN THIS WORLD.
Men are the protectors of a familt in general (but woe be as the person that backs a mother with young into a corner because they are much more deadly than any man).
The bible is interpreted far to often by people who see what they want to see and not exacly what they should see.
