Summary on women in political power in the OT
Women holding political power as judge, queen, or town representative doesn't seem to be a biblical problem, but it does seem limited by example (always limited in some ways). The complementarian pushback is that it's not typical, but Mike argues it's not 'only during times of crisis' and not 'only when men abandon their roles.' It shouldn't be treated as a restriction to dump on God's people.
