I prolly shouldn't butt in here but I should point out that God's Word is 66 books, all written by men ; Jewish men at that, that were highly patriarchal ; that depict God as a male, that attribute the fall out of paradise as the woman's' fault (I Tim 2:14, said to be written by a never married male) -, and even only has male angels -- get that ... no female angels in the Bible ... why's that?
So sticking to God's Word would likely result in the suppression of females.
In churches I've been in, 'where women are to remain silent,' they just ignore the verse that says "in Christ there's no male or female."
