"I permit no woman to teach or have authority over men; she is to keep silent." Timothy 2:11

Paul wrote that to Tim simply as a guideline for the early churches which were being disrupted by noisy women who were using the places as drop-in centres for coffee and gossip!
He had no beef with sensible women, for example the early Christian sect in Phrygia was led by Montanus and two prophetesses, Priscilla and Maximilla.
And Paul paid glowing tributes to other women-
"I commend to you our sister Phoebe, a servant of the church in Cenchrea..she has been a great help to many people, including me..
Greet Priscilla , my fellow worker in Christ Jesus, she risked her life for me.
Greet Mary, who worked very hard for you..
Greet Tryphena and Tryphosa and Persis, those women who work hard in the Lord.
Greet Rufus, chosen in the Lord, and his mother, who has been a mother to me, too.
Greet Julia.." (Romans ch 16)
"There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus" (Galatians 3:28 )
