that’s my question as well, in general, and including the YouTuber ones. the Bible teaches that older women should teach the younger women. I don’t know of any other female leadership verses besides the ones for parents toward their children. so the answer is not clear to me.
as for 1st Corinthians 11:13-15 that you just quoted, I don’t remember seeing that before!! and it makes me kinda be confused. some “native American” men alleged that their long hair enabled them to hear more accurately, like it helped them in battles. when they were enslaved by white men and forced to cut their hair way short, they said it affected their ability to hear certain sounds in the forest, due to the physical change. I don’t know how true that story is, it was a long time ago that i read about it. but it led me to believe everyone is technically meant to have long hair. dunno. so I’m not sure how to reconcile that verse, since it’s plain in stating that nature says a man shouldn’t have long hair. hmmm.
as for my personal feeling on female leadership though, it’s a total 180 from what I used to think. I used to think it was just the same as male leadership. but now that I understand man being head of woman in marriage, I feel differently. the way I see it is this: someone has to be in charge ultimately. if both are the leader, and have differing concluding opinions, how will a decision be made about a situation? you cant always go with both options at once. you have to choose. so the man is the head, he weighs the info coming from multiple directions- and namely, his wife’s- and in the end, what he chooses is then his responsibility no matter how it turns out. THAT is the burden of man. the woman is depended upon for counsel, but then she is not considered at fault when things go wrong. while she’s not the head, she DOES have the relief of never being at fault when the man’s decision turns out not to be the best. she gets to be the loving support and confidante no matter how the situation turns out, and continues to be weighing in on every decision, as her husband loves her, trusts her, and wants her to be happy also. there are ups and downs to each side.
similarly, when it comes to preaching… the analogy fits somehow. women were designed for something different, but it doesn’t make them less. (and I know you didn’t say they are less, I’m just venting thoughts in my heart, don’t want a misunderstanding lol, I took your comment and just ran with it!) we have the burden of being supportive, men have the burden of taking the consequences, good and bad, on their shoulders. we work together. so I will not consider it sexist ever again, to believe that a woman shouldn’t preach. there is protection for the woman in this design. I could go on to support this idea but I’ve been typing on my phone for a while and it’s getting tiring lol. just wanted to weigh in a bit on how i see those verses, and the questions I share with you @Violet , and the ones I have of my own. <3 thanks for the lead-in!
I had to invent a hair plaster instead, no gel worked. LOL.
