What is the Reformed stance on this issue or is it a divided issue within Reformed Theology?

The confessional and reformed stance, as I see it, is very clearly hierarchical (though I do not think that word fits here). Complementarian is better: Men and women have different roles in life and in the church. Leadership in the church in terms of pastors, elders and deacons, is exclusively male. Teaching (with the possible exception of young children) is the purview also of men only. This is what the Bible teaches, in my opinion, what the Westminster Standards clearly proclaim, and what most conservative reformed denominations have held to (though the diaconate is slipping).
