Can someone make an argument on why women should be allowed to the Lord's table?

Since women are equal members of the covenant, they have all rights and privileges pertaining therunto, including the rights to be baptized and to have communion with God. Therefore, as the Lord's supper is (at the very least) the symbol of such communion, women are permitted at the table as well as men.

Whew! . . .
So let's assume for sake of argument that there is a link. When I say to a peadocommunionist (if that's a word ) see catechized men where the only ones allowed to the passover in Exodus 12 but now catechized men and women are allowed how do i prove it?
I must type slow there are a few new answers since I started formulating my statements.
(Gen 1:27) So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
(Gen 5:2) Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.
(Mat 19:4) And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female,
(Gal 3:28) There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
(Gal 3:29) And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.
I thought about this for a second and I think that a person (presumably a man) who would ask this question needs to examine his heart, because out of his heart comes his words right? and if that type of question is even asked where is his heart? is it a gracious, tenderhearted type of heart then why would he ask that question? I LOVE taking the Lord's Supper... it is a humbling, awe inspiring and much loved event. I would feel ripped apart if my other half my husband could not partake. so what is the motive and the reason to ask that question?

Sister, I sense that you are either threatened or offended that people are even discussing this. Please don't be. Our brother Jason is trying to acquire sound arguments against those who might be led down this road. When challenged, he was not satisfied with his current ability to defend the practice of both men and women partaking. Let us help our brother to defend this practice against those who, although we might think their arguments to be ridiculous, are nevertheless interacting within the reformed theological world.
Tim the guy who would ask the OP such a question is not asking to genuinely understand but to cause contention.
