Rogue Baptists.

I wonder how they feel about casseroles?

I personally prefer steak and kidney pie :) More crunch!

Interesting questions.

I find in the Bible that there are things explicitly said, direct statements about something, they can stand alone doctrinally.

Then there are things implied, which need wider reference to establish doctrine from.

Also there are things that report what someone said or did, but don't necessarily imply approval either for the original instance or as a general principle for practice.

Finally there are those things that are "merely" mentioned, which provide tenuous basis for any doctrine.

The doctrinal basis for women in leadership roles, at least the reasoning I've been exposed to, seems to mostly rely upon the last three categories.

The first category, direct statements, run counter to these ideas.

Another thing I've noticed is that the idea of cultural relativity (even if it's not philosophically correct to call it that nowadays - but that's what it still is) is dragooned into service to eliminate objections based on direct statements that are contrary to the issues.
