There are actors and actresses. While actresses are strictly female, the same cannot be said about actors being strictly male. For instance, the Actor's Guild includes women. Just because it doesn't mention actresses doesn't mean they are excluded.
In the Bible, men (the word, not specific men) are mentioned commonly, yet women aren't mentioned much at all.
Read the NT when it comes to the words of Jesus telling people how to be saved. Remember He said, "Except a MAN be born..."?
According to your logic, Jesus was excluding women in making that statement.
I assure you, if a politically correct Bible was printed, it would be about three times the size it is now, and you'd see a lot of women, prophetesses, and specific names of women mentioned in it.
The bible does list prophetess. It also lists prophet. That is basic language.
The bible is not politically correct, of course! In bible times, you wouldn't be allowed to even speak like this, as a woman.
The priests were all men, the apostles chosen by Jesus were all men. Paul said a bishop should be the husband of one wife. The women is the weaker vessel according to scriptures. She needs to have a covering on her head. Paul said the woman was deceived, the woman was made for the man.
God
Christ
Man
Woman
Children
That is the order.
Have a woman pastor would be like my children telling my wife what to do.
Wrong order.

LOL!
Apparently, you have young children. There will come a day when they will tell you what to do and you will have to do it. I see that scenario every day where I work.
As for men being chosen to do this or that, that really means nothing. If you think it does, then I hope you and not your wife or children do the dishes, because it's Bible that men are the dish wipers!!
2Ki 21:13
And I will stretch over Jerusalem the line of Samaria, and the plummet of the house of Ahab: and I will wipe Jerusalem as a man wipeth a dish, wiping it, and turning it upside down.
Men are commanded to do a lot of things in scripture, but the absence of the mention of women doesn't mean women are excluded, otherwise we could have that excuse when it comes to salvation.
You asserted that the scripture speaking about doing prophets no harm applied to men only. That simply isn't true.
