That was just wrong!

Don`t really understand why the generalizations towards a religion when an action isn`t obviously in accordance with said religion.

Isn't it? When has Christianity presented a positive vision of women?

before the new testament when women could be pastors and hold power in the church.

To be fair, there were women pastors and held power in the NT church, as per Paul's writings. Multiple references were given to women that held church services in their house, and Paul mentions quite a few women that were of prominence in the church. However, many people tend to discourage proper interpretation of these scriptures.

That is true, but the sexist bureaucrats that ran/runs the Church denounced/denounces the household teachings if I remember right, too. I think it has something to do with some crap along the lines of "scripture and holy blessings can only truly be given by a pastor in the house of god" or some crap like that.
