Why didn Jesus choose any women to be among His twelve original apostles?

Also, the twelve apostles fulfilled the “type and shadow” of the twelve patriarchs, so they had to be equal to men (Revelation 21:12, 14). Men representing the federal head of the human race was divinely call by God to lead in ministry. Jesus showed a great deal of respect for women–and children as well. In the culture of Jesus’ day, these were were often deemed “lower class” so to speak, and not worth paying serious attention to. However, Jesus repeatedly broke this unspoken rule.
