Interesting you bring up John Knox, the founder of Presbyterianism. There was a link on another thread to John Knox's “Blast of the Trumpet against the Monstrous Regiment of Women

... And therefore, I say, that of necessity it is that this monstiferous empire of women (which amongst all enormities that this day do abound upon the face of the whole earth, is most detestable and damnable) be openly revealed and plainly declared to the world, to the end that some may repent and be saved.

... For who can deny but it is repugnant to nature, that the blind shall be appointed to lead and conduct such as do see? That the weak, the sick, and impotent persons shall nourish and keep the whole and strong? And finally, that the foolish, mad, and frenetic shall govern the discreet, and give counsel to such as be sober of mind? And such be all women, compared unto man

...."Women are removed from all civil and public office, so that they neither may be judges, neither may they occupy the place of the magistrate, neither yet may they be speakers for others."

....he further declaration of the imperfections of women, of their natural weakness and inordinate appetites! I might adduce histories, proving some women to have died for sudden joy; some for impatience to have murdered themselves; some to have burned with such inordinate lust, that for the quenching of the same, they have betrayed to strangers their country and city;and some to have been so desirous of dominion, that for the obtaining of the same, they have murdered the children of their own sons, yea, and some have killed with cruelty their own husbands and children

... to repress the inordinate pride of women

Quite toxically misogynist.

And now they've decided to become pervert friendly....

Funny you mentioned that. Just like Eve, another woman plunged the Episcopal denomination, not only under Homosexuality, but soon thereafter into Paganism - bringing in the so called Earth Goddess Gaia.

In vain do we ignore the Scriptures warning "do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man"

The trouble here is that Folks have Abandoned the Authority and Inerrancy of the Scriptures and fallen headlong into Error.
