A Youtube short of about a minute.
The speaker says his piece and gets booed.
Paraphrasing (because I know some people dislike Youtube)
Men: Do you live a life that demonstrates enough virtue that a rational woman will be comfortable submitting to your authority?
When you are probing unknown territory, do you squash down your ego and ask for guidance? Do you ask HER? That is what mature authority looks like; using the best information to make the best decisions.
Women: Do you demonstrate enough virtue that a rational man will be willing to risk dying to protect you?
This is what "Women, submit to your husbands and men, love your wife the way Christ loved his church"means.
Asking her, if not done carefully (and depending on the woman), generally erodes your authority (and fitness to be her man) in her eyes.
