Critical distinction: Genesis 2-3 is about HUSBANDS and WIVES, not men and women in general -- 'know your place' language wrongly presupposes universal female submission to all men.

Was Women's Submission Just a Curse to Be Overturned? Women in Ministry part 2 02:05:46 – 02:06:48

Limiting the scope of the Genesis teaching

Mike emphasizes that even the curse says 'your husband' -- it's a husband-wife relationship, not all men over all women. Adam and Eve are the prototype husband-wife. The whole theme of Genesis 2 is marriage (leaving father/mother, becoming one flesh). 'Know your place' language directed at women in general wrongly presupposes universal submission of all women to all men, which Mike has not promoted and doesn't believe Genesis teaches.
