That is my question at #13:

“What necessitates, from a hierarchialist perspective, the need for a woman to be under authority? Not origin, because I understand the claim is God is the source of delegated authority to husbands over their wives. What is the rationale behind why wives need to be under an authority?

I understand how children benefit from a parent setting boundaries and enforcing them when necessary for the child’s own protection, benefit, etc. because children do not have the wisdom and experience to judge matters well. Parents are responsible for their children, legally, etc. which necessitates parents have the privilege to set boundaries or expectations for behavior, etc.

I understand in the relationship of master/slave why authority would be necessary i.e. to enforce compliance towards behavior, to distinguish the position of master over slave, and various other reasons.

I understand, historically, the rationale as to why women were under authority. However, how would a hierarchialist answer today about that which necessitates a woman be under authority.”

And again at #62 to Mark

“You did not provide a rationale for the basis that the constitution of a married adult female necessitates she be under the authority of her husband. What is it about the constitution of a married adult female that necessitates she be under the authority of her husband and where do you find this in scripture?”

And at #67
