Interesting. He does round out the teaching in v.39-40 by returning to discussing prophecy and tongues... Certainly it doesn't mean that women could not prophesy, for Paul said they were doing so in 1 Corinthians 11:5. For me, it therefore must refer to asking questions about the revelations being brought forth as a result of prophetic utterances, as referred to in 1 Corinthians 14:26-30...

See, the kicker for me here is the statement Paul makes in verse 34: "Let your women be in silence.. [but] be under obedience, as also says the law." Whenever you try to find in the Jewish law words and commandments to this effect, you get nothing. The ONE place where you do find a command directly from God that "women" were to be obedient to men is in the garden after she sinned, where God told the woman "he shall rule over you." This was spoken to her as a wife, because she had influenced her husband into sinning against God. Not coincidently this story is exactly what Paul alludes to in 1 Timothy 2:14. "And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression." THIS is where the law says a "woman' is to be in obedience to a "man," and it is not talking about just any man and any woman but husbands and wives.
you're on the money. the command was to rule "OVER" and not to rule her.

to rule over is to take "RESPONSIBILITY" for the Husband and wife are to be ONE. that's why when a woman marries a man it is by "permission", hence she gives up her self responsibilities to share in his.

in a marriage a husband is to LOVE his wife even lay don his life for her. ..... can I get a amen to that from the men... oh well. that's the way it suppose to be. for Christ laid down his LIFE for the church, Ephesians 5:25

understand marriage is by permission. the command was to have "RULE ... OVER", which means protect, provide, Love, and anything else, likewise the wife. scripture,
Ephesians 5:24 "Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing". in WHAT? .... "Everything. see it goes both ways.

let's see some women preaching and teaching.

Luke 2:36 "And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser: she was of a great age, and had lived with an husband seven years from her virginity;

Luke 2:37 "And she was a widow of about fourscore and four years, which departed not from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers night and day.

Luke 2:38 "And she coming in that instant gave thanks likewise unto the Lord, and spake of him to all them that looked for redemption in Jerusalem.

here we have a little know scripture that put a prophet preaching Jesus christ.
the term "Spake" here in verse 38 is the Greek word,
G2980 λαλέω laleo (lal-ye'-ō) v.
to talk, i.e. speak words.
[a prolonged form of an otherwise obsolete verb]
KJV: preach, say, speak (after), talk, tell, utter

the word "sapke" is also translated by the KJV as "preach".

and this was in the temple.
