“Paul’s support of all women veiling equalized the social relationships in the community; inasmuch as such veiling was in his control, he secured respect, honor, and sexual purity for women in the church who were denied that status in the culture.”

“But notice that Paul’s teaching on the veil in 1 Corinthians 11:2–16 insists that a woman who prays and prophesies in the church should be allowed to wear a symbol that was a cultural icon for honor, chastity, and protection.

However, there are complementary instructions, to men first and then to women, addressing gender-specific issues that are part of the false teaching at Ephesus (1:3–7).”
