Paul has alot more interesting things to say about women...
Believer, you may feel that way, "men and women being equal and all" but like in Islam, its that they will be judged equally.
However, you cannot give your own opinion about what you think Paul or Jesus, peace upon him, to mean. Just like the avg ordinary everyday Muslim cannot try and interpret the Quran for themselves. We must rely on scholars.
Spunky, when did women get the right to vote in your example?
