Men » Men being the head of women
Wives, be subject to your husbands as to the Lord, for the husband is the head of the wife as Christ also (though he is the saviour of the Body) is the head of the church;
I commend you for always bearing me in mind and for maintaining the traditions I passed on to you. But I would like you to understand this: Christ is the head of every man, man is the head of woman, and God is the head of Christ. Any man who prays or prophesies with a veil on his head dishonours his head, read more.
while any woman who prays or prophesies without a veil on her head dishonours her head; she is no better than a shaven woman. If a woman will not veil herself, she should cut off her hair as well. But she ought to veil herself; for it is disgraceful that a woman should have her hair cut off or be shaven. Man does not require to have a veil on his head, for he represents the likeness and supremacy of God; but woman represents the supremacy of man. (Man was not made from woman, woman was made from man; and man was not created for woman, but woman for man.) Therefore, in view of the angels, woman must wear a symbol of subjection on her head. (Of course, in the Lord, woman does not exist apart from man, any more than man apart from woman; for as woman was made from man, so man is now made from woman, while both, like all things, come from God.) Judge for yourselves; is it proper for an unveiled woman to pray to God? Surely nature herself teaches you that while long hair is disgraceful for a man, for a woman long hair is a glory? Her hair is given her as a covering. If anyone presumes to raise objections on this point ??well, I acknowledge no other mode of worship, and neither do the churches of God.

A woman must listen quietly in church and be perfectly submissive; I allow no woman to teach or dictate to men, she must keep quiet. For Adam was created first, then Eve; read more.
