Since Paul explicitly gives no such equivalent instruction to the husband the relationship logically must be hierarchical.

This logic is not necessary. The husbands of his day already had authority over their wives, so the logic doesn’t and wouldn’t matter.
The question is did Paul reveal somekind of authority? And why would he? They alreayd had authority. But if your speaking in terms of “spiritual authority” the logic still wouldn’t matter, cause it still doesn’t follow.

There is no “the relationship therefore logically must be hierarchal.” Must be my foot. There is no solid connection whatsoever that forces that conclusion. It’s just “belief” that cannot be proven.
