Should man rule over women for women’s own good?

[FatAndFaithless]

My church respects every part of the Bible. I have met women, who through their on choice believe what the the Bible says about the issue of equality. As I already mentioned the Bible says women are to be treated with respect and dignity and are to be viewed as equals. This is what the Bible says, this is how I treat women, with dignity and equality.

I'm not familiar with the passages in the bible that say "women are equal to men". I am however familiar with the passages that say lovely things like "if a virgin is raped, her rapist must marry her after paying 50 shekels to her father", or "if a woman is raped in the city, both her and the rapist are to be killed".

And I find it very, very hard to believe that you accept every part of the bibble.
