(First time poster, glad to find another believer in Biblical equality)

I’ve never understood how the idea that women will “desire to rule” men has any staying power. I’m a survivor of eight years of Christian schools and a graduate-escapee of one of the strictest Christian universities in the nation, and I’ve never seen or heard of a woman trying to rule a man. I’ve known of plenty of women who have sacrificed everything they were to win a man’s love… and fail. I’ve known of women who have stayed in abusive relationships and tried to be perfect in order to win a man’s love. I’ve known women who have married unbelievers because they wanted a man who would love them. I’ve heard women who have chosen to idolize their husbands because their churches have taught them to do so. But rule? The closest I can think of for a woman trying to rule a man is one who tries to save a man from his own mistakes/sins/whatever, and even then that’s a desire for love and acceptance and not an open attempt to rule anyone.
