We live in a time where there is a lot of confusion about Gender. Satan is doing his best to confuse people.
We know that God isn't the author of confusion.
But still the world has men who want to be women.
1 Cor 6:9; Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals,
Deut 22:5; "A woman shall not wear man's clothing, nor shall a man put on a woman's clothing; for whoever does these things is an abomination to the LORD your God.
...and women, who want to be men. Presidents, company CEOs, and head pastors of churches.
1 Tim 2:9; Likewise, I want women to adorn themselves with proper clothing, modestly and discreetly, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly garments,
1 Tim 2:10; but rather by means of good works, as is proper for women making a claim to godliness.
1 Tim 2:11; A woman must quietly receive instruction with entire submissiveness.
1 Tim 2:12; But I do not allow a woman to teach or exercise authority over a man, but to remain quiet.
1 Tim 2:13; For it was Adam who was first created, and then Eve.
1 Tim 2:14; And it was not Adam who was deceived, but the woman being deceived, fell into transgression.
1 Tim 2:15; But women will be preserved through the bearing of children if they continue in faith and love and sanctity with self-restraint.
1 Cor 14:33; for God is not a God of confusion but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints.
1 Cor 14:34; The women are to keep silent in the churches; for they are not permitted to speak, but are to subject themselves, just as the Law also says.
1 Cor 14:35; If they desire to learn anything, let them ask their own husbands at home; for it is improper for a woman to speak in church.
Now I believe women can do ministry in the church, they can be in lay ministry, women's ministries, music ministies, children's ministries and women Sunday school
teachers. But it seems the Bible doesn't support womens rights from church perspective.
There were women in ministry in the Bible. But it seems none were the "head of the church".
Luke 2:36; And there was a prophetess, Anna the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was advanced in years and had lived with her husband seven years after her marriage,
Act 16:14 A woman named Lydia, from the city of Thyatira, a seller of purple fabrics, a worshiper of God, was listening; and the Lord opened her heart to respond to the things spoken by Paul.
There was a woman who was a Judge over Israel in the old testament, but that was because no man would step forth at that time.
Why do men want to take on women's roles and duties? (Sometimes they have no choice)

1 Cor 11:3; But I want you to understand that Christ is the head of every man, and the man is the head of a woman, and God is the head of Christ.
But often... it's simply because we "want" to.
