The problem is that while it says to treat women with respect and is horribly old-fashioned in many respects, it also teaches forgiveness and acknowledges that those who act badly and ask for forgiveness may again act badly.
Then again, members of "my church" in the 1940s were in jail as conscientious objectors. Fight Hitler or do jail time? They picked jail time.
However, if a minister or elder acts badly against a woman or child, that person is out of the (lay) ministry. And that was always the way it was said to be done, and for unimportant people that's the way it was done. Decades (many, by now) some movers and shakers thought themselves above the Law. For that, the church later came to realize, they'd have to answer. It being a church and all that, and those involved being mostly dead. In some cases, though, the top-ranking offending minister found himself with a flock of one--himself.
What's changed overall are two things: The willingness to speak out and the eagerness to judge and not forgive. "I'm sorry" is merely grounds for claiming in court that the person admitted guilt and should be punished. No wrong, real or merely perceived, must be left unpunished by "civil" society.
