“When something other than God is the desire of the heart, it begins to desire more than the portion granted. The sinful cravings of the heart are deceitful and can justify sin or can explain away divine instruction.”

Can’t hierarchical men see that they are describing themselves perfectly with these two sentences? Rather than seeking God they seek their own power and position, to be superior to and in authority over women. So the cravings of their hearts deceive them into justifying sinful domination and explaining away divine instruction.
