Boy is this a long thread! Anyways the debate whether “equal” is or isn’t the appropriate description for comparing men and women, I think, is one of semantics. I don’t even see a discrepancy between that quote from Mishpacha magazine and the earlier quote of Rav Miller zt”l from his sefer. (Even though Rav Miller is a godol hador, and not to equate what he said to a magazine quote.) Rav Miller said there can’t be 2 kings or 2 commanders and that the wife is submissive, and the husband is the captain while the wife is his first mate. OTOH the article in Mishpacha (at least from the partial context it was quoted) doesn’t seem to be talking about a husband – wife relationship but rather men – women comparison in general.
