Has the idea of women pastors been sold to the public? It appears to be so. The Bible's answer may shock some and amuse others, but it does answer its own question. “Are women allowed to Pastor a Christian congregation?"
Those who say no to the question consider the matter outrageous and implausible. For those who answer yes, it's rather like being behind an eight-ball that's about to collide with the Q-ball.
The verse under discussion will be, 1 Corinthians 14:34, "Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is NOT permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under (submissive) obedience; as also saith the law."
Paul is not speaking of women teaching at home, outside church services, or asking their husbands questions, but his words concern their posture in the church.

1 Cor 11:16 - "If anyone intends to quarrel about this, we have no other practice, nor do the churches of God."
Why do you think this is about not sanctioning those who disagree? I don't see that mentioned in the text at all.
It seems to me that this verse locates the practice(s) being talked about within the churches of God. He's saying all churches, other than these Corinthian churches he is addressing, follow these practices that Paul just laid out, which includes what a woman speaking should do with her head.
