My assertion is that (in the vein of many religious writings being of or under cultural/political influence) the verse is simply a suggestion for the times by the writer who is giving his opinion. Same goes for so many of the things written by Paul taken by various Churches to be written-in-stone guidelines for how one must lead their lives or structure their entire religion when Paul himself basically says of many things that these are his words and not from God, therefore not divinely inspired and merely his opinion on issues asked of him.
