The whole Paul's letter to the Corinthians is written to one specific church furthermore if you track that church through history you will find that it is located in the first country to ever give women the vote. Coincidence? I think not.
If we are all brother's and sisters in Christ and meant to love all equally why can we not treat them equally as well. I know a lot of men who should not have the authority to drive a car let alone authority over a person. In fact I know very few men who have an ounce of self-control (no offense to any of you remember I have not yet met you and most of the men i know are typical college boys )
People always say that men have authority over women becuase womens emotions get in the way and there better at taking care of the children. I disagree with that. I am the most apathetic peson I know. I don't cry when i break a nail and I take pain better then most men both physical and emotional. (guys if you don't believe me try bleeding for a week. ) I highly logical and I can make decions just as well as any man. Saying men have more authority over women is based purely on mens raging hormones and need to be in control not on anything God decreed.
