The inference appears to only affect women as non-pastors.  Why can't Christian MEN minister to both men and women without being pastors?  Why should either be limited to  ministering to their own sex?  Men as pastors have been ministering to 2,000 years  to both, why not both as pastors with the same responsibilities and ordination??
