the female decons were in the early church to help baptise womenMatt made the point that woman leadership was likely more widely recognized in the early church than we might expect. Bishop N.T. Wright is a good starting point on this topic. Especially relevant is Junia, the female apostle.
to look at the history of the Church you see a male only priesthood, going back from Jesus onward
what Matt points out is a twisting of the original text
we have many holy women but Jesus only choose men to be the 12
