By leaving, we are not necessarily disobeying the men according to the Bible, because we, the women, do not know exactly what is in the Bible, being unable to read it. Furthermore, the only reason why we feel we need to submit to our husbands is because our husbands have told us that the Bible decrees it.
The quote suggests that women leaving a situation or group is not inherently disobedient to men when viewed through a biblical lens. It emphasizes that many women may not fully understand the Bible’s teachings due to an inability to read or interpret it themselves. Therefore, their actions should not be seen as defying authority, but rather as a response to what they have been told about their religious obligations.
The quote also highlights that women's sense of submission to their husbands is based on the authority their husbands claim to derive from the Bible. It questions whether women are truly obeying divine instructions or simply following their husbands' directives, which are justified through religious texts they do not personally interpret or understand fully. This raises concerns about the dynamics of authority and knowledge within such relationships.
