I asked two women and one man. One woman was my missionary/teacher, the other was a mother whose family drove me every Sunday morning. The missionary (her hand-written lesson notes are stored safely in a box for sentimental reasons) gave a vague, somewhat robotic (if I may) answer about God-appointed authority. The mother did the same, but afterward in privacy elaborated on her answer by saying that once I enter the Temple, I'll see that there's more to it.

This is weird. The temple covers the Creation and the Garden of Eden, as well as the time shortly after being cast out. What I can say about it is that it is a drama-based ordinance. In that light, the only thing that could mean what she's referring to is also simply found in Genesis 3:16. We as a church never feel that the "rul[ing] over" one's wife means lording over her, bossing her around, or anything of that nature. It is probably best summarized by a Greek Orthodox woman who said "The man is the head [of the household], but the woman is the neck. And she can turn the head any way she wants." This essentially is true. Different roles, equal importance. They are to co-preside.

The man essentially said the church doesn't have priestesses because women are too busy with the important job of mother. His wife was the "home manager".

That's his view. The real reason is, well, to put it frinkly, because God said so :P
