If you can get women’s ordination, room for homosexuality, women as pastors in the churches and no male headship in the home out of the Bible, you can get anything out of the Bible. If you can get Paul’s statement “I do not permit a woman to teach” to say “I do permit a woman to teach” you can make people believe anything. In this case there is nothing you cannot get out of the Bible or read into the Bible.
bingo!!!the common denominator is the denial of scripture's authority in either case. As the psalmist declared "if the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?" psalm 11:3.
I recall from the OT-
Isaiah 3:
[11] Woe unto the wicked! it shall be ill with him: for the reward of his hands shall be given him.
[12] As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths.
[13] The LORD standeth up to plead, and standeth to judge the people
How long ago were they men?

To America, that's what the church looks like: nice ladies who believe in peace and openness.
I shared this quote on my FB page and one of my female friends (who I know is a supporter of women pastors) commented:
"I guess if the men would step up and do their job in the church the women would not have to pastor"
I think it's telling that in a situation where women are given this role, men step away from it.
