In context verse 15 is clearly meant to be an example from nature for why women should cover their heads.

Well, that just doesn't make any sense to me. Verse 15 says her hair is given her for a covering. All the history and sermons about women covering their heads with something besides their hair really isn't relevant to me, since the Bible says so clearly what a woman's covering is.
I'm not saying women can't cover their head if they want to. Honestly I don't really care what women other than my wife do.
Verse 13 says "judge in yourselves" and verse 14 says "nature itself teach you." I think it's a mistake to make legalistic rules out of such things, especially rules that
add to what the Bible already laid out, as in verse 15.
