“To prove that we must examine the particular instructions give:
Women are told to “hupotassoe” their husbands – this same general instruction is used by Paul in the same context to describe the proper actions of citizens toward their governments and slaves toward their masters.”

Just reading this again, another anamoly jumps out. Marriage and the Body of Christ are decidedly not “in the same context” as the military, goverment and slavery/employment. How horrible if they were. Again, I think the complementarians here need to think outside the box a little. Paul is not drawing parallels to different forms of submission, he is making distinctions from them.
