“Also subordination of function necessitates a subordination of essence.”
This is a novel modern understanding, and throwing this back to early trinitarian debates is not correct in my opinion. In all honesty it seems like it is the egal attempt to discredit the distinctions made by some comps on essence/roles.

Mark, this is very basic logic. If you say that because of one’s essence (their gender, sex, biology) they must be subordinate for life to another because of their essence (their gender, sex, biology), then you are also saying that their essence is not equal at all. The one who because of their essence must stay subordinate is inferior to the one who naturally, because of their sex, remains leader, prophet, priest, king over the other.

However, the most important point is that Scripture does not say this anywhere.
