Chrysostom lived in an era where men were considered superior to women. It is unfortunate that he interpreted many things within that thinking. However, Chrysostom was able to rise above this thinking when he honored Junia as a female apostle.

His thinking on veiling was also influenced by the very recent past to his era in which women were commanded by legal human laws to veil under certain conditions. He still thought women were compelled (because of their inferiority) to honor the superiority of men with a veil. One must discern who they want to believe on issues like this. Just because he was a person living a few hundred years after Christ doesn’t give him more understanding.
