Here I will have to somewhat disagree with you.But how many times have women heard 'if you just...he would'...I have heard it more times than I care to count. Do you know how many times I've read that men don't step up cause of feminism or the feminism of the church??? That imo is men blaming women.
If I take a ministry position that I have *not been called to*, I am keeping the person God *is* calling to that position from filling it. I am causing my brother or sister to stumble. I am *very careful*, therefore, to make sure I don't accept a ministry position I'm not being called to fill.
Thus, if a woman fills a position "just because it's empty" (*not* because she's called to it), then she *is* usurping a man's position (if a man was called to fill it) and is in the wrong. All too often, Christians (male & female) fill a position "because someone needs to", and not because they feel truly called to that ministry.
