God sure set the participation of women in the ministry back by not giving any gender specific qualification for a female deacon or bishop.
By the way God did give specific qualifications for a gender in regards to deacons and bishops and not one qualification for a specific culture in the ministry. Neither did he say that one culture should keep silence in the church, or not to usurp authority over another culture, as he did the genders. Maybe look for another objection, this one is not working.

Bishops were also circumcised, were they not?
