That is why a wife ought to have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels. 11 Nevertheless, in the Lord woman is not independent of man nor man of woman; 12 for as woman was made from man, so man is now born of woman. And all things are from God.
Men have a strong inclination to be corrupted by power and authority. This tendency can easily lead an authority figure to take advantage of those under his leadership. Caring more for his personal comfort than the wellbeing of those he leads a boss, government official, pastor, or husband can think of himself as important and others as unimportant—after all he is the one who makes the decisions. God makes it clear in these verses that we are equal before Him.
Though women were made for men, men would not be around without women. We need each other. The man who thinks himself better than women because of what the Bible says about men and women in not treating Scripture properly. God made us so that we needed each other and more importantly He made us so that we need Him. God is the superior one. He is the creator and sustainer.
