There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus" - Gal 3:26. So from that verse we see God does not make a distinction between genders.
However 1 Timothy 2:11-12 mandates that women learn in silence and submission, forbidding women to have teach or have any authority over men and be silent.
1 Corinthians 11:5-6 mandates that women who pray or prophesies must have their heads covered as well as being silent during services.
Ephesians 5:22-24 mandates that wives must submit to their husbands in everything, although the next few verses talk about husbands loving their wives in return. Much the same message about wives submitting to their husbands is in 1 Peter 3:1.
It is no wonder why the Catholic church, along with many conservative Protestant churches oppose women priests, deacons, pastors and elders. In this video by Pastor Jack Schaap he basically defends his sexist views biblically.

UGH! That is PAINFUL to watch. I refer to my earlier comments.
First of all, it sounds like he's mocking his own congregation at several points. Secondly, WOMEN go to that church? Third, WHAT?! Fourth, he must think that God wrote the Bible in KJV English to support that argument. Read the Greek buddy, you're completely wrong about what the Bible says about women. Fifth, WHAT?! Sixth, you realize you're basically putting yourself in the place of God, Jack Schaap? The ego on that one.
Has this guy been caught soliciting male prostitutes yet? If not, look forward to it.
