Her rueful comment on the spate of women seeking senior pastoral positions is that they are mostly a group of angry women, with problems with the men in their lives (esp. their fathers), who have horrible attitudes toward the church. She just shakes her head and says: "Paul was right."
My wife is also a seminary (CE) grad, and I am grateful she is. But, she is also the strongest complementarian I know. She has been insulted by a prominent PCA minister who said, "Our women are tired of being just housewives and mothers."

That, dear brethren, is where we are headed. Women tired of their Biblical roles, and the men that enable them.
