Mike's application: limiting women to housework wrongly restricts the dominion mandate of Genesis 1; women should be inventors, farmers, engineers, entrepreneurs, etc.

Mike argues that any broad limitation of women's authority to subdue creation is problematic. Limiting a woman to only working in the home restricts her sphere of influence over the earth, which she was also told to have dominion over. Examples of subduing creation include being an inventor, farmer, engineer, software developer, physicist, or entrepreneur.
