Paul starts off in verse 1 by stating something so simple, but yet it is so deep. He says "Be imitators of me, as I am of Christ." He shows his leader ship and authority but also shows that he is under authority under Christ. Imagine working for a big company and your boss is the president but the president also has a boss which is the CEO/owner. Paul has authority but is not the ultimate authority.
The word "head" in this section as a simple understanding means source. So, when Paul says God is the head of man and man is the head of woman, that means that from x came y. If you go back to Genesis and read about the creation of man and woman then you see where that comes from. But head also meant authority, not as in controlling but as in leader or lead. This verse (3) is where people get confused and refer to the Bible as sexist and what not, but this is a farce as there are plenty of women God has used to do wonderful things in the Lord.
1 Corinthians 11:20-21 calls out the believers who were not united in the church when it came to eating. He says people were having different meals when they used to share a common meal. He calls them out for having different meals and getting drunk at church to show proof that they were not unified.
