You have been given free will.  You can do whatever you want. However, a scene comes to mind....
Its a beatiful ballet.... Prince Charming runs toward his princess, as they meet she lifts him high above her head twirling, she then throws him in the air and catches him just before he hits the ground.

We as Christians take Jesus seriously. We love following Biblical teachings and they really work for us. You should never feel like you should waste your time trying to understand or follow or argue these issues.....YOU ONLY HAVE A FEW DECADES TO LIVE!!  We have eternity though.
Jesus never tackled the issue of gender roles. Paul, the apostle who wrote most of the letters contained in our Bible did. Jesus spoke of core issues of the heart. One comes to Jesus first to sort out your heart...then you move on to more intense issues like husband-wife relationships. Its almost like Christianity 102. 
An ungodly man might take the teaching and become a horrible dictator. Its a Christian only rule
