Queens had authority over men, and Romans 13:1 commands submission to them

Everything Women Can and Can't Do According to the Bible: Women in Ministry part 13 01:57:01 – 01:58:31

Mike uses queens as another example against strict patriarchalism.

Queens had command over men, though less than kings. Even Jezebel used authority by signing with Ahab's name, showing the queen's authority was real but lesser. Romans 13:1 commands everyone to submit to whoever is in authority, which would include queens. This pushes back against the strongest patriarchal (Andrew Tate/Saudi Arabia) view that women should never be in charge of anything.
