Are you a woman?
Do you believe the Bible to be "God's Word"?
Is this really God's Word?

Nor was man created for the woman, but woman for the man. -- I Corinthians 11:9

Let your women keep silent in the churches, for they are not permitted to speak; but they are to be submissive, as the law also says. And if they want to learn something, let them ask their own husbands at home; for it is shameful for women to speak in the church. Or did the word of God come originally from you? Or was it you only that it reached? -- I Corinthians 14:34-36

Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body. Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything. -- Ephesians 5:23-24

Wives, submit to your own husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. -- Colossians 3:18

Let a woman learn in silence with all submission. And I do not permit a woman to teach, or to have authority over a man, but to be in silence. For Adam was formed first, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived, fell into transgression. -- I Timothy 2:11-14

I've left out the Old Testament references (which are far worse) since most Christians tend to discount the Old Testament.
