Really? You couldn't find a good powdered wig. Is this payback for not choosing Flavius?
I'm glad we got that cleared up quickly. I wouldn't want to have to defend that in the powdered wig thread.Powdered wigs are not Biblical! .

I am partial to blue but no manly hat has frills. Do you have a nice fedora?

It depends on who you ask. Some people say that Paul specifies this because the women always covered; but certain women
wanted to uncover while prophecying... so when Paul says "we have no such custom" he is referring to not having a custom of women uncovering to prophecy... obviously a lot of people disagree with that; but I've seen really good supporting research, it's not just some mysogynists making stuff up.
Finally I have evolved into a consiglieri.
Paul was talking about cultural issues of that time, not necessarily that women of every decade, in every generation everywhere had to wear a veil. In the area of Corinth, it was the culture for married women to wear a veil while praying and prophesying to show their submission to their husband as head of their family in the church. But some women were taking their veils off while praying and prophesying as if to show that they're defying their position.
So this isn't about a command from God that women must wear veils when they pray and prophesy for all time everywhere. This was a matter of gender distinction and position. If Paul was here in the now, Paul would have defined how men and women should show distinction between the genders and hierarchy of family (husbands as leaders and wives as under the care, protection and leadership of the husband, and single people as proper single men and women under the care of the Lord Jesus).

At what age does a female cease being a maiden and becomes a "woman"? Or is it, rather, more accurately to ask, "what circumstance or event transforms the maiden into a woman?
The correct answer to this would greatly aid in my figuring out this mysterious issue.

Judging Christians on their practices is God's job, not yours. Spend your time doing homework on the text instead of trying to force your (very limited) understanding on others.
Yes! I was thinking of that particular term when posing the question. I looked up instances relative to the use of each term and noticed a verse that used both "maidens" and "women," and it was presented in a context that attached "children" to "women" so, I think that touches on a specific distinction between the applicability of each term. What seems apparent, to me anyway, that the "wo(mb)" in a maiden is, ideally at least, inactive or if you will, lying dormant, until she is given to "man."
And this understanding makes more sense of all the head shaving going on.
Imagining a community riddled with shaven women, I see no wonder that long hair would then have been a woman's glory.
Some believe that only defiled women (especially such as prostitutes) would
uncover their hair. Like an act of rebellion, and/or showing lack of respect.
That's awesome. But I'm going to have to take my hat off more to get my face tanned like the rest of me.
