Everything this dude said is from the Bible. The women teaching men bit: from the Bible. Men being the head of the family and the head of the woman: from the Bible.
Though other Christians may disagree with his rather harsh delivery of it, everything he said about the Bible is correct. He even says they're not his words, that he's just "quoting". Yup, he's right.
So as the preacher in the video says, if any Christians have issue with how your religion is presented here: take it up with your God.

perhaps you might explain,
1. I never became a preacher because of a woman
2. I never get my spirituality from a women,
3. I never learned the Bible from a women
no i am taking it up with you, one thinks that the mans mother must have been
practically redundant, so where does the Bible state that you cannot preach to
others because you are a women, that you cannot learn spirituality from a women,
that women are not qualified to teach,
his delivery was scandalous, not only was a he a self righteous megalomaniac that
did not explain a single verse that he cited, the points he made were a gross
distortion of the text. There are many wonderful examples of women of spirituality
throughout the scriptures, perhaps if he read the text instead of pretending that he
had something other than chauvinism, he would know that.
and yes,
The bible does state that a man is head of his wife, not all women, gross distortion
number one. The man has no more authority over another mans wife or any
member of the congregation that a non believer, if he thinks he does then he is
grossly mistaken, for the unmarried women has the privilege of Jesus Christ being
her so called, 'head'.

We're all still paying for Eve's transgression, is what it boils down to.
People are NOT responsible for the actions of their parents. Period.
They are especially not responsible for the actions of non-existent FICTIONAL parents.
An awful lot of modern day sexism and the trouble women have in society and the
workforce are due to this particular little bit of Christian doctrine.
THIS is one of the things that you can list under the "what harm does it do?" category.

I mean God forbid that He should actually hold you responsible for your sin. How DARE He accuse you? This is the ONLY reason you see it as immoral and "dangerous". Because we say "all have sinned", but YOU can't take even this little slice of the burden of humanity.
So you make it all up that God is fictional because He DARES to accuse YOU of sin.
