1 Timothy 2:11-14 "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."
1 Corinthians 14:34 "Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience as also saith the law. And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church."
1 Corinthians 11:5-10: "But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven. For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered.
1 Corinthians 11:13: "Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman pray unto God (with her head) uncoverd?

All religions hide the fact that originally God was considered to be a woman called Goddess. Eventually religion changed god into a man and male dominant religions have been coming down on women ever since. Some women have to look like a bundle of cloth coming down the street because of the problems within the minds of men.

1 Timothy 8-10
Since prayer is at the bottom of all this, what I want mostly is for men to pray—not shaking angry fists at enemies but raising holy hands to God. And I want women to get in there with the men in humility before God, not primping before a mirror or chasing the latest fashions but doing something beautiful for God and becoming beautiful doing it.
1 Corinthian 14:33-36
If you choose to speak (men), you're also responsible for how and when you speak. When we worship the right way, God doesn't stir us up into confusion; he brings us into harmony. This goes for all the churches—no exceptions. Wives must not disrupt worship, talking when they should be listening, asking questions that could more appropriately be asked of their husbands at home. God's Book of the law guides our manners and customs here. Wives have no license to use the time of worship for unwarranted speaking. Do you—both women and men—imagine that you're a sacred oracle determining what's right and wrong? Do you think everything revolves around you?
1 Corinthians 11:3-16
In a marriage relationship, there is authority from Christ to husband, and from husband to wife. The authority of Christ is the authority of God. Any man who speaks with God or about God in a way that shows a lack of respect for the authority of Christ, dishonors Christ. In the same way, a wife who speaks with God in a way that shows a lack of respect for the authority of her husband, dishonors her husband. Worse, she dishonors herself—an ugly sight, like a woman with her head shaved. This is basically the origin of these customs we have of women wearing head coverings in worship, while men take their hats off. By these symbolic acts, men and women, who far too often butt heads with each other, submit their "heads" to the Head: God.
Don't, by the way, read too much into the differences here between men and women. Neither man nor woman can go it alone or claim priority. Man was created first, as a beautiful shining reflection of God—that is true. But the head on a woman's body clearly outshines in beauty the head of her "head," her husband. The first woman came from man, true—but ever since then, every man comes from a woman! And since virtually everything comes from God anyway, let's quit going through these "who's first" routines. Don't you agree there is something naturally powerful in the symbolism—a woman, her beautiful hair reminiscent of angels, praying in adoration; a man, his head bared in reverence, praying in submission? I hope you're not going to be argumentative about this. All God's churches see it this way; I don't want you standing out as an exception.
God address the problems that both men and women have. These passages were for men and women not just women. That is why you take the whole council of God's Word and not take a verse out of context for your personal gain.

The Bible applies to men and women equally. If God prefered men over women John 3;16 would only be for men.

God created Eve(Isha) out of Adam's rib to be at his side. Not out of his skull to be on top, nor out of his foot to be under him. This is really simple. Everyone should get this.

Read Proverbs 31 also -
Women's rights? I think your paradigm falls a little short.
You seem to stop at culture when perhaps you could get a deeper, more thorough context of God's love and order for men and women.

Well, it seems that you have already answered your own question.
Pick up the book "Every Woman in the Bible," she gives in interesting interpretation of the scripture you quoted above.
Christianity is the most liberating belief for women in all of human history. If you want to judge a society in terms of freedom, look at how they treat their women.
It is true that men have twisted and perverted the Word of God to oppress women, but that is a PERVERSION of the truth.
You want to know what the Bible says about women's rights?
"Neither man or woman, Jew or gentile, bond or free, but all ONE in Christ Jesus."

So far, you've only quoted Paul who was an avowed hater of women. he wanted women locked up away from society. One wonders if he was, in fact, a blatant queer.
