I think the real issue here though is not standards, but submission. Women today (in America, certainly) have a hard time submitting to their husbands. And those husbands have a hard time submitting to Christ, as well.
Godly authority is something not really preached or taught these days, ESPECIALLY in regards to the family structure. Men have abandoned their authority by leaps and bounds, and now we reap the consequences - chaos in the home (and by extension, in the church and society at large).
but then again, I am one of those evil 'patriarchal homeschooling anti-vaccine home church' types, so take it for what's it's worth to ya

Easias, it is both. Should she submit to false standards? And, I believe that if the men were submitted to God, instead of submitted to peer pressure, they would see that the standards are false. And if men were submitted to God, they would teach what true holiness is and also godly authority.
What wife would rebel against a husband, that loved his wife as his own body?
