It's never been an issue with women in positions of authority or not for  I was reared with them and they were no shrinking violets when it came to men lording it over them. 
They had to leave ministry if entering into marriage and  took literally "women to submit to their husbands" and remained faithful to their vows.
There was never any divorce or separation either.
A whole different kettle of fish for Catholics and an eye opener for converts such as I when it came to religious men and women.  The spurious brother/sister relationship as a solution to "sticky situations" is another means of contention   and  nothing more than unholy bondage in my opinion.
