Did NT Christians still practice primogeniture? Wives submitting to husbands?

The Egalitarian ＂Silver Bullet＂ Bible Verse： Women in Ministry part 7 00:45:56 – 00:46:58

Mike tests the egalitarian logic against practical NT realities.

Mike suggests NT Christians likely still gave sons a double portion of inheritance. If the silver bullet verse eliminated all such distinctions, wouldn't primogeniture communicate lower status for women, violating their oneness in Christ? Most egalitarians argue against wives submitting to husbands, but some more conservative egalitarians affirm household roles while denying church roles. Mike challenges this: if you affirm different roles for husbands and wives, doesn't that imply the wife's status in Christ was not intended to fundamentally change the marriage relationship?
