Weaker vessel refers to physical body, not lesser personhood

Have We Misunderstood "Wives Submit"? Women in Ministry part 9 00:25:36 – 00:27:08

Mike defends the 'weaker vessel' language as referring to physical differences.

The term 'vessel' refers to the physical body, not soul or spirit. Physical differences between men and women are real and observable. Mike argues that pretending men and women are physically the same (as in cases of transgender athletes in women's MMA) dishonors women by failing to recognize this difference. Honoring the weaker vessel means giving greater care.
