@Crux_Invictus consider this excerpt:

I moved to Japan in my mid-twenties. I had no idea how much I had instinctively come to expect preferential courtesy from Western men until it suddenly disappeared from around me. It honestly blew my mind. Elevator doors would open, I'd go to step in, and be blown back by all the Japanese men rushing to get on while women waited patiently for them. Men went through all doors first. Men were served first at bars. Men took seats on trains while women stood. Anywhere women get preferential treatment in Western countries, men do in Japan. I'm not saying the reverse is right. I'm saying I was honestly shocked by just how much I expected the reverse, without even thinking about it. I sent a group mail apologising to all my male friends for never noticing before. And now I see women everywhere expect it, the same way I did, and get the shits on the rare occasions it doesn't happen. I do consider that sexist.

The argument seems to boil down to:

>"I want women to be Pastors because it makes me feel good. Teaching that women are not called to be Pastors means teaching women to be humble. That makes me feel bad so I don't want to."

The rest is just reading into Scripture what it doesn't plainly say.

>"Because women were there when Jesus taught His disciples it means they can be Pastors!"

>"Because by reading the text this way I get to say this woman was an Apostle. This means women can be Pastors!"

>"Because the Holy Spirit inspired some women to prophesy it means they can be Pastors!"

Maybe if women weren't taught to look down on motherhood. They wouldn't so actively seek ministries not intended for them.

I haven't read it, and I don't care :omegalul:
I find the disk on Voyager much more interesting.
