Is women leadership scriptural?

[Classik]

Is women leadership scriptural? Is it okay for women to out-lead in offices, churches etc...or even be breadwinners?
I don't mean it is a taboo if a woman does well.
But, look in our homes today and at our offices - and everywhere, women are taking the lead and are doing very well...and even better.
I know in most homes today women are breadwinners. When a man can't feed the family he simply suffers in silence. He is anxious over the wife's leadership - and would not say it. He is indeed in bondage (And in some families men have died out of anxieties - seeing themselves as failures. Some women are boastful about their position in the families and have tried to control both the husbands and everything in the homes)

Genesis 3 NKJV
16 To the woman He said:
“I will greatly multiply your sorrow and your conception;
In pain you shall bring forth children;
Your desire shall be for your husband,
And he shall rule over you.â€

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The b part of Genesis 3:16 makes it clear that at the begging Adam and Eve were equal. After they sinned, God said, and to the women: 'Your desire shall be for your husband,
And he shall rule over you.'
Now look at 17b
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
17 Then to Adam He said, “Because you have heeded the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree of which I commanded you, saying, ‘You shall not eat of it’:
“ Cursed is the ground for your sake;
In toil you shall eat of it
All the days of your life.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
It seems to suggest God says Adam should lead - in providing for the family. It talks about 'heading' and providing for the family.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ephesians 5 NKJV
22 Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord.
23 For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body.
24 Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything.

How does women leadership affect the world?
How does God feel about it?
How does a woman feel when she is heading the family?
How does a man feel when he is under the wife?

You see women doing well in the work place. I see families falling apart. Some one needs to be home with the kids.

The husband could stay home with the kids, and not all women have children.

ok i will chime in as my "son" craves male attention from a man and will run out the door with a smile say lets go. that said i also believe that girls will also want a mother and the same with a boy. in general when my dad wasnt much of a dad i was close to my mom. i am alot like her in some sense.

so i think that women are needed. it best for two to raise the children not one. do we need "toys" to get by or is that extra job for survival? let each reader judge accordingly.
