The “traditionalist” side in any discussion can always say that those that do not follow their lead end include those that do X, where X is something negative. This is a totally spurious argument, it is a scare tactic. It only works on those who are scared, unfortunately, this seems to be significant number of believers.

Here is a chain demolishing some arguments, this is not original with me.
1. The Bible says that Miriam was a leader of the Israelites, along with Moses and Aaron, but perhaps she only led women.
2. But Deborah led men (sat in authority over them), being a judge, but perhaps God used her as their were no suitable men.
3. But Huldah declared at least Deuteronomy (and perhaps the Pentateuch) to be God’s word, even though there were other male prophets available to consult, including Jeremiah.
