Men » Men being the head of women
Wives likewise to their husbands as to the Lord, because a husband is the head of his wife even as Christ is head of the church, his body, which he saves.
Indeed I praise you for remembering me in everything, and because you are holding fast to the traditions just as you received them. But I wish you to understand that the head of every man is Christ, and of a wife her husband is head; and that God is head of Christ. Every man who prays or prophesies with head veiled dishonors his Head; read more.
but every woman who prays or prophesies with her head unveiled dishonors her head (her husband). for it is one and the same thing as if she were shaven. If a woman does not wear a veil, let her also cut off her hair; now if it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, let her be veiled. A man, indeed, ought not to have his head veiled, for he is an image and glory of God; but woman is a glory of man. For it is not man who was made from woman, but woman was made from man. And man was not created for woman, but woman for man. For this reason the woman ought to have authority over her head, because of her guardian angels. However, in the Lord neither is woman independent of man, nor is man independent of woman; for just as the woman was made from the man, so also is the man born of the woman, while they both come from God. Judge of this for your own selves. It is fitting that a woman should pray to God with her head unveiled. Nor does nature itself teach you that it is a disgrace to a man to have long hair, but it is woman's glory, because her hair has been given her instead of a veil. If, however, any one is inclined to be disputatious regarding such a custom, let him know that neither I nor the churches of God hold to such a custom.

Let a woman learn quietly in entire submission. I allow no woman to teach, or to exercise authority over a man; but let her keep quiet. It was Adam who was first formed, then Eve. read more.
And it was not Adam who was deceived; but it was the woman who was thoroughly deceived, and who became involved in transgression.

My wish, then, is that in every place the men should offer prayer, lifting up holy hands, free from anger and disputation; in like manner also the women. I desire women to clothe themselves in suitable apparel, adorning themselves with reverence and self-restraint; not with hair plaited with gold or pearls, or with expensive clothes, but (as becomes women proclaiming godliness) with the ornament of good deeds. read more.
