Please limit your comments to the book, A Woman of Chayil. You and your buddy.

Sure Nell. Here you go.
The subject of slavery as a human construct may be as easily applied to woman's issues. They are issues that are not in Christ because in Him there is no male female slave or freeman. Whereas I see some logic to Jane's argument I am not convinced that there isnt some influence with these human issues in her thinking. Outside in. Or, more likely, her negative experience has caused her to view things through the filter of her experience. That would be understandable but not portable. Since the subject of slavery was brought up I responded to it as a similar construct since no one here is or has been a slave it is easier to talk about the logic and remove the emotion. I recommend you head off off topic discussions when you first see them if that is important to you.
Like slavery in the Bible, the women's issue of equality or being in subjection is not a central mission of the church. Paul did not try to end slavery or rebel against the antichrist emperor Nero. Apparently he underscored Gods arrangement concerning woman and man Jane's forceful argument notwithstanding.
