Pharisee fence analogy: how far do we extend rules about gender roles?

Everything Women Can and Can't Do According to the Bible: Women in Ministry part 13 01:30:23 – 01:31:54

Mike uses the Pharisees' approach to Sabbath rules as an analogy.

Like the Pharisees with the Sabbath — 'no work' led to questions of what counts as work, and they built a 'fence around the mountain.' The debate between stronger patriarchalists and softest complementarians is about how far to extend the fence. Do we have isolated rules for marriage and eldership, or principles that extend into all society, and if so how far?
