Frank,
Excellent thoughts and a great question!

There is a God-ordained method to solve the complementarians problems with gifts. If God stopped gifting women then who would argue with restrictions if women were never gifted in that area anyway? I have never yet heard a convincing argument why God gifts women with gifts for preaching and teaching and shepherding. How can one argue that God doesn’t gift women in this way when it is so evident that many are gifted? If all it took was for God to withhold these “male” gifts from women, the case would be closed. After all who would argue for the freedom of pink elephants to minister if there are no pink elephants? 😉
