Rebuttal: women's submission is not comprehensive — Groothuis claims there is 'no area in which a woman has any authority, privilege, or opportunity that a man is denied,' which massively overstates complementarian claims.

Mike quotes Groothuis from page 422 of Discovering Biblical Equality: 'There is no area in which a woman has any authority, privilege, or opportunity that a man is denied.' Mike argues this is an absurd overstatement — can she not choose what to eat, wear, laugh at, have hobbies, command her children? Male authority does not equal comprehensive control over every area of life.
