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?

As to the bold section......Pure RUBBISH! Respectfully Sis. Renee I must disagree. I can without hesitation state that I am not under any peer pressure, wife pressure, or any other manmade pressure, and I BELIEVE in standards. The problem we (especially in Apostolicism/Pentecostalism) have is that standards, for the most part, are taught as holiness which is NOT what holiness is.

No Bishop, it is not pure
RUBBISH. I too have standards, but I know that my standards are not my holiness.
The RUBBISH is, as you said yourself,
“The problem we (especially in Apostolicism/Pentecostalism) have is that standards, for the most part, are taught as holiness which is NOT what holiness is.”
So why do “
WE” (maybe not you) teach that “
standards are holiness?”
Do the Pastors, not know any better? Are they afraid they will lose their license? Afraid they will lose some of their members? Don't they know, if they teach that standards are holiness they are teaching a lie? Stunting the growth of their members, in not teaching them what true holiness is.
If you teach your members, what true holiness is, then you are rare, and I applaud you.
