I do apologise to comment on your query as I was not supposed to do so but I think as for knowledge point of view this intervention should be tolerated.
I will prefferably coment on your first part of question i.e. "hierarchy".
Quranic proof is 4-34 (Al-Nisa Surah No 4 and Aayeh o 34).
"Al-rijal qawwamun ‘ala al-nisa’ bi ma faddala Allahu ba‘duhum ‘ala ba‘din wa bi ma anfaqu min amwalihim. Fa al-salihat qanitat, hafizat li’l-ghayb bi ma hafiza Allah. Wa allati tukhafuna nushuzahunna, fa ‘izuhunna wa ahjuruhunna fi’l-madaji‘ wa adribuhunna, fa in ata‘nakum, fa la tabghu ‘alayhinna sabilan. Inna Allah kana ‘Aliyyan, Kabir."
"Men are (meant to be righteous and kind) guardians of women because God has favored some more than others and because they (i.e. men) spend out of their wealth. (In their turn) righteous women are (meant to be) devoted and to guard what God has (willed to be) guarded even though out of sight (of the husband). As for those (women) on whose part you fear ill-will and nasty conduct, admonish them (first), (next) separate them in beds (and last) beat them. But if they obey you, then seek nothing against them. Behold, God is most high and great".
A per Tafseer ibn e Kaseer, One companion's wife came to see Prophet and alleged her husband to hit her. Prophet (PBUH) wanted to do her right of revenge when this Aayah was releaved

A number of debates and commentaries on this verse can easily be found on internet like

or
http://www.themodernreligion.com/wom...4-shafaat.html
The topic could be seen in following approach:
1) Husbands are a degree above their wives in a legal context.
2) Men are superior to women in a domestic context.
Other relevant logics in this context to support the most common interpretation of the verse (Men superiors than women) are:
a) In dividing the inheritance, a female gets half of a male’s share.
b) A woman’s testimony often counts half of a man’s testimony.
As the second part of question is concerned, it has also two parts..
1) Iqbal's concept regarding Ijtihad
2) Exam's query
I am not an expert to comment on second part of question so some other fellow will definitely response you.
I think .. Iqbal has always stressed to reconstruct the Ijtihad .. i often recall his verses:
Khud badaltay nhi, Quran ko badal detay hein
Aah kis darjay Faqeehan-e-Haram huey be-taufeeq
In ghulamo ka yeh maslak hay k naqis hay Kitab
jo sikhati nhi momin ko Ghulami k tareeq
