There is nothing about authority, rule, hierarchy, or importance in the entire passage, but only unity and mutual dependence. The idea that one can submit while being in authority is derived from the idea that Paul, after making the mutual submission statement, is now defining how husbands and wives carry it out, but with an inaccurate definition for "head; this view equates submission with "head/rule over". But the official complementarian view is that [http://www.soulcare.org/Counseling/MythofSubmission.html mutual submission is impossible]. They presume that "head" must mean authority and "submission" must always be to an authority.

Now to [http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20Timothy%202:11-15;&version=72; 1 Timothy 2:10-15]. Verses 11-12 read like this: "A woman must learn, with a humble and quiet demeanor. Yet neither am I permitting her to continue doing damage to a man but to be still." Note Paul's shift here from "women" who teach to "a woman" who learns; he is now referring to a specific unnamed woman who is not qualified to be a teacher. The references to "a woman" and "a man"  suggest that this is a married couple, and that the wife is teaching her husband the Jewish law in ignorance (earlier Paul mentioned teachers of the law who didn't know what they were talking about).
