Can women be elders?

Can women be preachers and elders?
This is a hot topic for debate and usually results in emotions running high. Let's stick to scripture and see what the Bible has to say about it.
1 Timothy 2:11; "Let a woman learn in silence with all submission.
12And I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man, but to be in silence"
This passage instructs women to learn quietly with all submissiveness and not to teach or exercise authority over a man. This is often cited as a direct prohibition against women holding positions of authority in the church, like preaching or being elders.
1 Corinthians 14:34-35 - Here, Paul writes that women should remain silent in the churches and that if they want to inquire about something, they should ask their husbands at home. This is interpreted by some as a directive for women not to speak in church settings, including preaching.
Some argue that these instructions were specific to the cultural context of the time, where women's roles were significantly different from today, and thus these rules should be applied lightly.
Galatians 3:28 - Paul states there is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. This is often used to argue for equality in roles within the church, suggesting that spiritual gifts and callings are not gender-specific.
Examples like Phoebe (Romans 16:1-2), described as a deacon, and Junia (Romans 16:7), who is considered by some translations to be prominent among the apostles, suggest that women did hold significant roles in the early church.
Proponents argue that the restrictive passages might be addressing specific issues in those churches (like disorder or false teaching) rather than setting a universal rule. For instance, the silence in 1 Corinthians could be about maintaining order rather than a ban on women speaking in church. Women are mentioned as prophesying (Acts 21:9, 1 Corinthians 11:5), which in the context of the time could be seen as a form of public speaking or teaching.
Complementarian View: Holds that men and women are equal in essence but have different roles in the church and home. This view often restricts women from being elders or preachers.
Egalitarian View: Advocates for the equality of men and women in all roles within the church, arguing that cultural context should not limit the application of spiritual gifts.

The New Testament provides passages that can be interpreted in different ways, leading to diverse practices within churches. However, the argument that these rules explicitly mentioned in the text applied to the first century church only constitutes a slippery slope that (in my opinion) we can't afford to tread on. What other instructions will be written off in the name of historical and cultural context? Women often play a vital and meaningful role within a church of any denomination, but preaching and leadership are roles expressly forbidden for women in multiple epistles.
