Monte,

At least we agree on the 'isms'   I quote myself:

 "Nature, my friend Timo, the premise is rooted in nature, not Adventism or Calvinism, or some other 'ism.' Men and women are not designed for equal purpose. You need a powerful 'ism' to believe otherwise."

"Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee."  This is God ordained.  These are His words.  As far as I know he hasn't taken them back.

The promises and covenant are made to Abraham and transmitted through his 'only' son, Isaac and through his son, Israel.  The sons of Israel.

The Law of God is replete with subordination clauses, if you will, regarding the status of women.  

The doctrine of equality is rooted in man's imagination, not in scripture.
