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.
There is not one woman pastor recorded in the Word of God. Paul said a bishop is to be a man.
1 Timothy 2: In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;
2:10
But * (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works.
2:11 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.
2:12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.
2:13
For Adam was first formed, then Eve.
2:14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.
2:15
Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.
Eph 5:23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.
1Pe 3:7
Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered.

And where do you work? What line of work do you do?
I have two daughters and they do not tell me what to do. If you let children run your house, you don't have a house at all- well at least not a healthy, functioning one. The husband is the human leader, delegated by Jesus.
Well, I think it is quite foolish to fuss over who tells the story of Jesus. The FIRST ones Jesus chose to tell were women and they were sent to tell the men that were in hiding...so that alone should tell us something...Millions sit in pagan darkness enough to make angels weep and we find time to fuss about who tells the story...shame on all of us.

You didn't read my post very well. I wasn't speaking of small children, but adult children.
You might think that they will never tell you what to do, but I'm telling you that day will come.
I'm a nurse in a nursing home. Children make decisions for their parents all the time, sometimes even against their will. They tell their parents what to do. This isn't in a bossy manner, but their parents are no longer in a position to make their own decisions.
But that's not the only instance that it's ok for children to tell their parents what to do. My mom is 60, and I tell her what to do a lot. She respects me as an adult...an equal...and it's her choice to take my advice or not. Sometimes I'm insistent that she take it! LOL!

A woman can preach and prophecy to anyone and teach women but she can not teach men and she can not pastor a church because a pastor or bishop must be able to teach.
1 Tim.2:[12] But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.[13] For Adam was first formed, then Eve.[14] And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.[15] Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety
If a man,not a woman desires the office of bishop,a bishop MUST be able to teach and a woman can't teach a man.1 Tim.3:[1] This is a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work.[2] A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;[3] Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous;
A WOMAN CAN"T RULE THE HOUSE [4] One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity;[5] (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?)[6] Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil.[7] Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.
