Payne on verse 10: the woman has authority (exousia), not under authority
Mike presents Payne's egalitarian reading of the authority verse.
Payne rejects 'a symbol of' (added in italics by NASB translators). The woman has authority over her own head -- she exercises control by not letting her hair down (since that symbolized sexual looseness). This removes male authority from the passage. Verses 11-12 then prove there is no authority difference between men and women.
