Ephesians 5:21 is referring to a marriage relationship. And even if it does not, my point still remains. We are suppose to submit to one another. There is no gender specification here. Therefore we can conclude that both men and women are suppose to submit to each other. As it is not disregarding a marriage relationship, we can assume that this is also required for a marriage relationship. God requires that husbands and wives respect and love each other.

We even see a godly marriage in the lives of Aquila and Priscilla. Whenever they are mentioned they are ALWAYS mentioned together and never apart. Also in the Bible, more than half the time Priscilla's name is mentioned before Aquila's. This is highly unusual when looking at the time period of when they lived and when the Bible was written. The husbands name was always recorded before the wife's name. But in this case, the wife name is recorded before her husbands. Again this promotes the idea of equality in a marriage.

2). While Genesis 5:2 describes both male and female, and uses plural version of pronouns (them) to describe creation and blessing of the first couple, Genesis 5:1 talks only about one man and uses singular pronoun (him). That tells you, again, that while God created both male and female, only male is created in God's image.
So your first point is completely useless. The verse is specifically saying that Adam and Eve can be referred to as Adam. Thus, we can conclude that when the word "man" is used in this context, it is referring to both male and female. Also, if we look at Genesis 1:26-27, " Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over [g]all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” 27 So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them." We see that verse 26 is plural and referring to both male and female, this plurality is continued in verse 26 when it says that God created man in His image. Verse 27 completes the verses by going back to plural. Thus, male and female are created in God's image.

Also, I would like to bring up Deborah again. She is the perfect example emphasizing the equality of men and women. It does not matter if she is the only female judge in the book of Judges. The point is she was there and appointed by God, unless you think that God made a mistake by including her in the Bible. You cannot ignore her, just because she does not fit into your opinion and view of women. Deborah as a great leader of men, as she commanded and instructed men and the military of the time. We see many other strong women leaders throughout the Bible. All scripture is important and you cannot ignore parts that you do not like.
