Unfortunately some men cannot handle this God-given role and abuse the position to manipulate and control women to keep them in a subordinate position. You may not have experienced this, and I am glad for you, but I have seen it and know many that suffer from the abuse of power.

I understand what you're saying here and was expecting this point to be made eventually if it wasn't already earlier on. Perhaps it was and I missed it.
Still though ..... the mandate was issued in Genesis and the mandate
and the principle of it is seen through both Old and New Testaments from Genesis to Revelation.
And that's the truth. Maybe hard to swallow sometimes because abuse happens. We've ALL seen it and know it's true.
But doesn't change the Scripture.
