The Bible never says that women or men are lesser than the other; however, the Bible says that: "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus."

This is NEVER stated in the Bible. Women and men are equal in God's sight as spiritual beings. They are simply different in physical form and in functions of the mind, will, and emotion. Those differences are balancing functions, not reasons for intimidation or heirarchichal oppression.

Read Timothy II
It's the only example I could think of off the top of my head. Its short so you should find the passage right away about women not having any authority over a man.

It doesn't -- that's an old social wives tale (or was it husbands tale?)
