Every man who prays or prophesies with his head covered dishonors his head. And every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head—it is just as though her head were shaved. If a woman does not cover her head, she should have her hair cut off; and if it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair cut or shaved off, she should cover her head.
I Corinthians 11:4-6
Why don't we do this? I know a big argument is that it's cultural. So...looking for more. What makes it cultural and not universal?
Before I get attacked for sounding like I'm trying to say that we should make woman cover their heads, please know that I am by no means saying that. It was just brought up in small group. And I am curious to know how people defend the fact that we don't. Or maybe you think we should. Just looking for opinions.
Note: I am not trying to pluck this out of context. I would definitely think it's worth reading the entire section, if not the surrounding sections for this verse.

what is meant by a covered head? Is hair considered a "covering"? Or is it reffering to a scarf or headpiece?
Ummm...I don't know. What do you think?
