You might not recognise it as domination, but promoting a situation where a woman is expected to - how did you put it - see men as having authority and responsibility and headship in marriage, and willingly defer to the man's call; promoting that as the ideal is promoting domination.
The Greek text does not say Junia (feminine) but Junias (masculine)...
You've made it very clear that you believe women in leadership positions in the Church are in the wrong, and damaging to their own households.
Don't you understand? Raising the topic in this way is making a personal accusation. You have, in effect, accused every woman in ministry, and every egalitarian, of going against God's will.
I am promoting servant leadership.

There are a couple Greek texts that even use Julia instead of Junia or Junias. The majority of references in general concerning Junia is that she was indeed female.

"Servant leadership" is a nonsense term. Leaders lead.
Women cannot lead because the do not have within themselves the God-designed ability to do so, and men who lead from the rear aren't any better.
1 Peter 5:
2. Be shepherds of God’s flock that is among you, watching over them not out of compulsion, but because it is God’s will; not out of greed, but out of eagerness; 3. not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock. 4. And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that will never fade away.…
This is servant leadership without domination.
It's leadership, period.
Was Jesus an "effective leader" in your view ?The most effective leader I ever met had an enormous heart of Love and would have you kneeling with him on the carpet before the Lord.

Yes...
Yeah we know but these comments coming from a highly respected church father of the 4th century who actually spoke Greek is very significant.The Greek text does not say Junia (feminine) but Junias (masculine)...
Now we had close friends who operated in a similar way, however the wife took the role of pastor in their church.
With this new role they were faced with how authority should work in the family. Was He to defer to her in all matters now that she had assumed a 'higher spiritual rank'? How was it meant to work?
I have said no such thing, you can't seem to resist misrepresenting me.
I am promoting servant leadership.
No... you have made it very clear that you think that is my position.
That's exactly what you are doing, so how else can it it be stated? The truth is the truth, regardless of your refusal to obey it.
