women as pastors

I think that women should be pastors. I think that everyone has the chance to be whatever they want to be, as long as they try their hardest. Women have just the same amount of knowledge as men. Yes I do agree that men are spiritual leaders of their families, but women can be in the lead of a church. Yes women are seen to conquer the children and they are in charge of them most of the time, so why can't they be in charge of the elders?
I guess I think that men should be in control at the home, but at church, all people should have a fair chance of control, whether it is a woman or man. Yes men were made first and woman out of man, but God made women for a reason and since the tides are turning and women are starting to be able to get an education and real jobs, they should be able to lead the church. A pastor is a huge role to play, and they put up with a lot of stuff; but women are better multi-taskers, men are more dominant, and the both are equal. 1 Corinthians 11:11 "11In the Lord, however, woman is not independent of man, nor is man independent of woman.
Those are just some of my thoughts and feelings on the subject. I also think that if we do not let them be pastors of churches, then society would frown upon us and say that Christians are sexist, and even more than that!!!
