1 Timothy 2:12
ESV - 12 I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; rather, she is to remain quiet.

I would say that it would. (I personally agree with the position stated on the GotQuestions.org website (https://www.gotquestions.org/women-pastors.html) with regard to the issue of women serving as pastors.)
