    I believe Paul is saying If it causes you to stumble wearing or not wearing we have no such practice It is not a law It is also worth noting that Paul said if it is ok for a woman to have shorn hair or a shaved head then this obviously would not apply Consider scripture verses that teache men not to trim their beards or shave their heads Thirdly those who would contend women should wear head coverings should also contend that Jesus did not have long hair though Jesus is commonly portrayed that way in our culture In this passage Paul says it dishonors a man to have long hair This is ammo for the contentious Lastly This passage dispels another false teaching Many teach women should not prophesy in church They are mistaken according to this passage were they are only encouraged to cover their head while prophesying or praying
