Certainly, and again, thank God, and serving in various functions in complimentarity with men, and who spiritually can receive greater rewards for their faith as they do so according the positional/functional distinctions God has ordained , which is why I hold the position that I do, while also trying to serve others, and women in general.

I've got three men reporting to me at work. I guess I'm doomed.

Well, you should be seeking to live according to the word of Him who created you. Among other things. women can certainly do hard manual labor, and do business with the product if it, and help care for her family thereby, complementing and supporting her husband, if married, (Proverbs 31:10) but they are not supposed be in authority over men (who thus are more severely judged for failure or abuse) in the church.

And the positional headship of the man over the women, (1 Corinthians 11:1-3) whose should seek to treat his wife like gold, applies outside the church.

Which does not mean a women can never tell men what to do under male leadership, (1 Samuel 25:19) and there are Deborah situations in which a women must lead by necessity. But otherwise I think that you should be seeking to function according to God's order.

And I say this as one who has no animus against women in general, much less to helping them which I try to do (like in physical labor, which I thank God i can still do), and to have good relations with them. Nor am in a position of formal leadership, but my position is determined by what the word of God says, not my own masculine-type nature.
