Yes, I have heard in several hierarchialist teachings and writings online that a single woman is to remain under the authority of her father as long as she is unmarried and/or pastors/elders can fill that role. I have heard/read some purport that even in dating relationships that the boyfriend assumes a leadership position.

I have not heard any one say or write what necessitates a woman, whether married or single, to be in authority to a man/husband.

Children “belong” to the parents; slaves belong to the master. This ownership in the relationship between the two constitutes rights to command, direct, determine, command obedience. What is it in the relationship between a man and wife and a single woman and her father/pastor/boyfriend that constitutes a right to command, direct, dtermine, command obedience, etc. even lovingly?
