I personally am not pursuing the issue of women pastoring...Only that of
women being able to minister.
But I will say that the issue about being the husband of one wife was more a
issue of having only only wife, not two or three or six.
As multiple wives was a common tradition in those times.
As in Abraham, Jacob, Issac, and others known for multiple wives or
concubines.

I dont think the issue in these scriptures was wether you were male or
female. But if you were married you could only have one spouse and if you
were a man then being the head you must have you house in order. Under
obedience to you.
After all Apostle Paul was never married  and thus had no wife and could not
have met the qualifications of a Bishop or Deacon (under those terms) of
being the husband of one wife.

But I am sure that 99 % of you will disagree so that is neither here nor
there.....ALL I know is that what God does, in his deeds,  pretty well
explains the meaning of what he has said in his words.
And there are certainly records of what he has done in regard to using women
to minister.
Happy Holidays To All. God Bless.
