A lot of people on the forum constantly confuse the authority of the husband over the wife (and church bishop over the congregation), to authority of all men over all women, which is simply non existing in the Bible... Even the passage refers to Adam and Eve, who are husband and wife prototype. The context in such passages in the Bible always points at the fact that the man and the woman mentioned are within marriage covenant.
It is perfectly fine that you have a word on what your wife is wearing or what she is doing. But see, you dont go around telling other women you're not married to, especially if they are married, how to behave or what to wear, as they are under authority of their fathers if they are virgins. If they are married they are under the authority of their husbands. Or they are under the authority of God alone - if they are single adults living out of their father's house, or if they are widowed.
Paul was a church overseer so it was fine for him to give this kind of direction to the church he was responsible for.
If this would be cleared up, a lot of arguments on this forum would vanish...
