Headship

[Gregory Matthews]

Paul is not saying that all women should submit to all men. Nor is he saying wives are “subjugated” or “subservient” to their husbands—or to anyone else for that matter. Subservient means to “obey others unquestioningly.”   To be subjugated is to be brought “[under complete control or subjection.”   Here is no room for individuality! Such force is unbiblical and is definitely not what the text is saying.
