gengwall, that is very telling research, isn’t it? So, 25 usages of head regarding families in the OT and how many examples of women in leading roles might we also find in the OT, as if somehow might makes right?! For many comps, it only has to be by inference, due to the fact that ‘men’ were chosen for the census, that they take license to give men the lead. If only they would consider what truly is and isn’t being said in the bible. I agree, too, that is is nonsense due to the implications for unmarried women, the men away for battle, etc., yet comps then come up with some other mush about ‘well, there are still men remaining in the camp that serve as a covering or head’ when, in fact, no such description or mandate exists. Yes, isn’t the Proverbs 31 woman a remarkably unwimpy example of women?! Again, having now heard much comp thought, I can only guess that somehow they see her as in subordination because her husband sits at the gate with the other men, and all are heads, so she is subordinate. They take a LOT of liberty when it works in their favor but none when it could be used against them, as in Eve being created last therefore she is the best, Jesus being born of a woman, and many other examples that using their type of thinking would make women the ‘logical’ heads.
