Subordinating Women

"Eve's deception led to her subordination under man (Gen. 3:16). This is presented as part of the curse, and, like other aspects of the curse (labor pains, toil in the fields, sin, and death), does not need to be praised and enforced by church rules."
Craig Keener, Baptist minister and professor of New Testament, Eastern Seminary, from "Paul, Women and Wives"
