We will momentarily digress to the fundamental fairness of requiring a woman to cover her head.
Some women want to cry that it is unfair to require a head covering for a woman and not for a man.
Let’s briefly consider whether God is being unfair.
God gives each sex separate strengths, abilities, and special privileges that the opposite sex does not receive.
Women have attributes that men do not.
We already established that women are the more beautiful sex.
Is this fair to men?
Let’s be clear, appearance has value in our physical world. Why should a man be less attractive?
It’s not fair that a beautiful woman with her female charm gets all sorts of advantages in life that a guy doesn’t receive. Why?
Because God, the Creator, who made all things, made the decision.
Women are prettier, that is just the way it is.
In my younger years, I would always hear about women pulled over for excessive speeding who were given a warning, not a ticket! Not that I should have been breaking the law with speeding, but this never seemed quite fair to me. An attractive woman could charm her way out of a traffic fine that a man would have to pay.
God gives each of us special gifts and qualities. The clay should not question the Potter about the special gifts and talents that we are given. This applies in the narrow sense of the individual abilities that we receive such as physical strength, intellect, etc. as well as the broader view of the gender that God assigns to us.
We should receive what God has given to each sex with gratitude, thankfulness, and appreciation.
Likewise, any accompanying responsibility associated with God’s gifts is reasonable, fair, and suitable.
God knows what He is doing!
Women and men are given different responsibilities in their respective roles. It’s more than fair (and far more than what we rightfully deserve)!
