I don't usually quote scripture but:
1 corinthians 11:3 But I would have you know that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God
14:34-35 Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but to be under obedience, as also saith the law. And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.
The problem really arises when people still try to apply this crap right now, and they do and it's scary monsters time. IMO, of course and just an FYI: The man who buys into this "I am the head of the woman crap" won't make a good husband.
Have you ever noticed that the bible rarely tells you the names of women?
Here are some examples:
1. Adam and Eve’s daughters: names not mentioned in the bible (3 of their sons – Cain, Abel, and Seth – are mentioned).
If you check the texts that are left out of the Bible, you'll find that they also had two daughters. Cain took Malalah as his wife, and the other was married, by Adam, to Seth when Seth was 14 years of age. But, that is in the "left out text".

3. Lot’s two daughters: names not mentioned in the bible even though both of them had drunken sex in a cave, with their father, Lot, and bore him two sons (Moab and Benammi) .
Also does not mention if it was the daughters, Lot, or all three that were drunk.

Again, left out text.

Oh, and I'm afraid T-Rex wasn't around anymore. By that time, T-Rex wasn't even in anyone's memory.

And, with every one else in the whole wide world drowned, 8 of them had to volunteer to undergo sex-change operations to become women and have kids.......
The story goes a bit different in the original version. No, the original version is not in the bible.

When people take the Good News of the Gospel and twist it around and ridicule the Bible...
2 Kings 2:23 He [Elisha] went up from there to Bethel. As he was traveling up the road, some young boys came out of the city and made fun of him, saying, “Go on up, baldy! Go on up, baldy!” 2:24 When he turned around and saw them, he called the judgment of Jesus down on them. Two female bears came out of the woods and ripped forty-two of the boys to pieces.
2 Samuel 24:15So Jesus sent a plague through Israel from the morning until the completion of the appointed time. Seventy thousand men died from Dan to Beer Sheba. 24:16 When the angel extended his hand to destroy Jerusalem, Jesus relented from his judgment. Jesus told the angel who was killing the people, “That’s enough! Stop now!” 1 Samuel 28:18 Since you did not obey Jesus and did not carry out his fierce anger against the Amalekites, Jesus has done this thing to you today. 28:19 Jesus will hand you and Israel over to the Philistines! Tomorrow both you and your sons will be with me. Jesus will also hand the army of Israel over to the Philistines!”
Uh, I'm not exactly seeing the "Good News" here.

Being an intelligent enlightened being I'm sure the Spirit of God thing will ignore it.

I'm hoping that wasn't a reference to me.....I'm in the flesh, thank you. Also I gave up being a Liberal when I went through Soviet Check Point Marienborn in 1982, and I'm not prophesying anything, I'm merely reporting the horrors that Jesus has perpetrated on people.

Do you have any facts to support your position?
Questioning...
2 Kings 2:23 He [Elisha] went up from there to Bethel. As he was traveling up the road, some young boys came out of the city and made fun of him, saying, “Go on up, baldy! Go on up, baldy!” 2:24 When he turned around and saw them, he called the judgment of Jesus down on them. Two female bears came out of the woods and ripped forty-two of the boys to pieces.
You would think that at least 30 of those kids would have been able to escape/run away/break a land-speed record for running/”get ghost”/climb a tree/find the adult(s) who should have been supervising 42 kids/etc. while those 2 bears were busy mauling the other 12 kids, but I guess 2 bears (not 42 bears… 2 bears ) can maul 42 children faster than we think, huh?
If CNN reported that 2 bears (2 bears, not 42 bears) had mauled 42 boy scouts in the woods (or an open field, or anywhere else), would you believe the story ?
If you want a document that tells you how to behave towards, others try the UN Declaration of Human Rights. Forget something as imperfect as the bible. And forget any decent guidance from the bible regarding stewardship the enviroment, respecting and not mistreating animals, etc. etc. The Bible was not bad for the people of its time. Today it can be seen as clearly lacking, with lots of anger and genocide, revenge and judgmentalism. Not something to base a present-day civilized society on.
Even if it doesn't mention the women's names, it certainly doesn't try to portray men in a more positive light than women. Look at the patriarchs, Jonah, David, the apostles. Just to name a few.
Can someone tell me why woman are referred to ( in the bible) as the "daughters of man", and men are referred to as the "sons of god"?
The preceding chapter talks about the line of godly men from Seth to Noah. Your question refers to some of their descendants who married outside of the faith, because they were more interested in the physical attractiveness of those women, rather than women who shared a common faith to their own.
...Also, people of faith are called "children of God" or "sons of God" in the book of Romans.
