The word "submit" is meant in a humane, loving, caring, constructive, loving, LOVING sense, PERIOD.

If God, the Lord, is all powerful and wise, he/she most likely meant to ensure wisdom in the world through the compassion women are capable of versus the anger and rage so many men live by.

Here's more about the Bibles and religion on what it means for women to submit to men as they do the  Lord.

Wives and Husbands
21Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ. 22Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord. 23For the husband is head of the wife, just as Christ is the head of the church, His body, of which He is the Savior.…Berean Study Bible · Download

The idea any religion decides women should submit and be slent BY RULE, is sick and sad and demented, convincing me it is all Bull Shit.
