Reformed Apologist: Women Worship Leaders - Just a Few Thoughts

This is a post that had my mind hanging open.
May women lead in worship?
The answer to the question should be obvious. Women may not lead worship because women may not lead God’s people. Let's be loving to our sisters in Christ and in humble obedience lead them out of such roles.

I read the whole argument and it didn't make sense. Let's see what the Bible says. There are instances in the Bible where women lead worship. Here is one:

Then Miriam the prophet, Aaron’s sister, took a timbrel in her hand, and all the women followed her, with timbrels and dancing. - Exodus 15:20

and

1 On that day Deborah and Barak son of Abinoam sang this song:
 2 “When the princes in Israel take the lead,
   when the people willingly offer themselves—
   praise the LORD!
 3 “Hear this, you kings! Listen, you rulers!
   I, even I, will sing to[a] the LORD;
   I will praise the LORD, the God of Israel, in song.- Judges 5:1-3

There is no reason to think that women cannot lead worship.
