Too many Christians want to cherry pick what they want to follow. For example, I was surprised that, as conservative as they were, the church in Jesus Camp had a woman pastor. The New Testament is very clear in saying that women are not to be ministers. I have yet to hear a good non-BS excuse for ignoring this. It doesn't personally bother me; I used to attend a church with a female pastor. But, the type of people in this movie claim to be strictly following the Bible when they aren't.
If that didn't clarify anything for you, perhaps it will clarify some things for someone else. I agree with you that too many Christians want to cherry pick out of convenience, dogma, tradition, or whatever else the case may be. I agree that women should not be the head of a church - the Bible is clear on that. The Bible does instruct women to counsel other women so I believe that a woman can be over the women's ministry of a church but not the entire church.
Don't miss out on something great just because it might also be difficult.
