Peter is careful to tell women to submit to their own husbands. Some men interpret this to mean they are intellectually superior to women. They do not show them respect and talk down to them or ignore them.
Other men appear to be kind to women. They smile and give complements related to women's appearance, but they rarely take advice from the opposite sex. They tolerate women giving their opinions, but they do not take them seriously. If the man happens to agree with a woman's opinion, he chalks it up to a fluke.
But this is not the kind of submission God designed (Galations 3:28-29; 1 Corinthians 11:3). The relationship between God and his Son is the pattern set for the relationship between husbands and wives. There is a line of authority coexistent with a line of equality (Phil 2:6). Jesus is no less intelligent than the Father and the Father never demeans the Son.
