Bad news: from someone inside many American Protestant Churches, very few of them take a biblical view on gender roles. The amount of times I've been in the room while otherwise biblically solid pastors explain their way around Ephesians 4 and 1 Tim 3 is depressing.
Pastors are terrified of women because women will throw shit fits if they’re held to the standards, it’s beyond parody that the supposed messengers of Christ can’t even tell women to practice humility.
Those aren't Pastors at all. Ezekiel chapter 34. Yes, the whole chapter. Any translation you will read. (I could recommend some that are good to start with) I won't copypasta a quote here, get the whole chapter for context. By no means is this the only relevant passage, just a solid starting point for the topic.

In my church women aren't even allowed to stand at the pulpit. I wonder how much longer that will last once the older generations are gone.
