From David Haberstitch:

I just think that "submission to men" is a simplistic reduction of a
religious rule and tradition.  The Christian tradition of head coverings for
women is
both culturally and biblically based, so I think that my phrase "religious
injunction" is more accurate and neutral than "submission to men" from a
descriptive standpoint, and I think most Christian women who use head
coverings would
not in fact justify it as a sign of "submission to men" but rather as a sign
of submission to God.

I think you've hit the nail on the head, sir.  Working among conservative
Protestant groups, as I do, I've certainly always believed this to be true.
