Thousands of Southern Baptists overwhelmingly voted Wednesday to advance a formal ban on women pastors in the nation’s largest Protestant denomination, sending a clear message that men alone should preach to these conservative evangelical congregations.

So British were… Christian now? Some were, sure. But only in the later first century.

Rome only invaded the isle in 40 c.e or so. Paul was on the other side of the world. He may have been “aware” that they existed, but he certainly wasn’t influenced by them. And frankly given how he didn’t write them any letters… I find that dubious.(he died around 65ad, and the letter furthest west was to Rome.)

You said "until WW2". Britain was Christian within that wide timeframe you provided. I know for a fact from my own family history that wasn't the case.

You keep trying to say that’s okay because husbands are supposed to love their wives. But that’s not equality, it’s misogyny.

It's not supposed to be equality by the white, western secular definition of it. A woman can also choose not to marry, as to which she'd be subject to the same authority structures as men. Marriage is choosing to submit to a man of your choice. The Bible and Christianity doesn't have to conform to 21st century white society. In fact, Christianity has basically always opposed society, everywhere and anywhere. In USA 'Republican' circles, it condemns their greed and selfish attitudes. In USA 'Democratic' circles, it condemns their fornication and rebelliousness. In China, they don't take issue with the views of marriage, but do take issue with the charitable aspects and demands of Christianity. At times in history Husbands didn't love their wives, at other times, wives didn't obey their husbands. There is no historical point in time or person other than Jesus where this has been practiced properly. In fact, men cannot be perfect like Jesus is, but it's what's expected of them. And this is all from the fall:

Genesis 3:16

To the woman he said, “I will surely multiply your pain in childbearing; in pain you shall bring forth children. Your desire shall be contrary to your husband, but he shall rule over you.”

He also says that Christian’s are slaves to Christ

I don't have an issue with this. Far better than the alternative - being a slave to Satan.

It doesn’t matter if masters are to love their slaves or husbands love their wives.

It definitely does matter.

“But I’m a loving husband” doesn’t make controlling and subjugating your wife okay.

A loving husband doesn't control and subjugate his wife. Your sentence here doesn't make any sense at all.

The Bible doesn't tell men to control and subjugate their wives. It tells them to love (agapos) them, lead them, and guide them.
