Payne's second argument: the man (not the woman) leaves father and mother, which implies equality rather than male authority.

Philip Payne (p. 47 of 'Man and Woman, One in Christ') argues that if the text had said the woman leaves father and mother, complementarians would claim it implies male authority. Since the man leaves, it implies equality. Payne also notes the husband is under both father and mother's authority before leaving, suggesting maternal authority too. Mike finds this argument making too much of the text.
