He doesn't.  You know of a woman who has been given the gift of preaching?

Not all gifts are equal either in authority or function.  God gives gifts
that, among other things, are according to gender.  IMHO, the authority
structure found in Eph. 5 is merely a reflection of the greater reality
permeating the entire body life... and it all flows out of the Trinity's
inner authority "structure".
