The issue is submission to the divine order of creation. The covering needn't be a hang up, it just confuses the issue. It says in the text that she should have a 'sign' of power on her head. These leaves some discretion as to what it should be. It should be a covering and it should be on her head.
Some good sermons on the issue: Dr. Michael Barrett part 1 Dr. Michael Barrett parts 2 and 3 Rev. John Greer intro John Greer Q & A Pastor Schwertley
