Tell me, what’s your interpretation of:
the head of the woman is the man. 1 Corinthians 11:3.
the husband is the head of the wife. Ephesians 5:23.
[Women] are commanded to be under obedience. 1 Corinthians 14:34.
I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man. 1 Timothy 2:12.
Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. For Adam was first formed, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression. Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety. 1 Timothy 2:11-15.
Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.. Ephesians 5:22-24.
Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord. Colossians 3:18.
Wives, likewise, be submissive to your own husbands, that even if some do not obey the word, they, without a word, may be won by the conduct of their wives, when they observe your chaste conduct accompanied by fear. Do not let your adornment be merely outward—arranging the hair, wearing gold, or putting on fine apparel — rather let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the [a]incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God. For in this manner, in former times, the holy women who trusted in God also adorned themselves, being submissive to their own husbands, as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord, whose daughters you are if you do good and are not afraid with any terror. 1 Peter 3:1-6.
In the long term the 19th amendment turned out to be a civilization-ending asteroid strike.

As a woman, I absolutely agree. As a voting group, we are easily manipulated. See Eve and the serpent as an example.
Someone once said, if you want to know what a woman wants, watch cable TV.
“A, B, C, D, E, F, G.......”
Which denomination do you want me to chose to answer your question?
Husbands, likewise, dwell with them with understanding, giving honor to the wife, as to the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life, that your prayers may not be hindered. 1 Peter 3:7.
You said, "Your interpretation. Mine is different."
You didn't say the interpretation of the Center for the Study of Global Christianity at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary was different.
You said YOUR interpretation.
Well, then let's hear it. I've given you about ten scriptures to grapple with. Hard to wrest that many.
Again, as I said, your argument isn't with me, it is with God.
Rots a Ruck.
The simplest way for any man to please any woman is to simply say : “Just tell me what you want’’.
The problem with that is, unless the wife is surrendered to her husband in all things as unto the Lord, she has no clue what she wants and has lost touch with what really makes her happy.
As with basically everything else in life, Jesus is the answer.
