This one should provide some interaction for quite some time.  The
most quoted Biblical support will most probably come from Titus 2:5.
"...to be sensible, pure, workers at home, kind, being subject to
their own husbands, that the word of God may not be dishonored."
NASB.  

Much to the regret of the feminists, the Bible has distinct roles and
authority lines for men and women.  The difficulty lies with the
subjective aspect of the woman's role which is usually contrasted
against the responsibility of the man's role.  The intention is that
it is to work together as one, not apart individually.  

For the ladies who take offense, remember, there is more power in
influence than there is in authority.
