1 Tim. 2:11.
Paul obviously knew what he was talking about, because he did not mince words.
He did not tell the church to have idea sharing sessions with the women, he did not say to check with them first before picking colors, he did not say to recognize their emotional concerns. He specified they be silent in order to learn.
This directive was gender specific, and left no room for options. A woman was expected and told to learn from her husband, regardless of her personal opinion about her husband and whether or not she felt "loved." In doing so, she cooperated with God's specification that her husband is the head of her, and that he is accountable to God for his performance as such.
This procedure of wemen learning in silence before the authority of a man who is in charge of her is consistently shown in how women were silent upon hearing the instructions and teachings of Jesus. No woman ever argued or debated with Jesus, because He did not allow it. He answered all their questions and comments using responses which negated their need for further inquiry or pursuit of a matter. Jesus always got the final word with women.
The best example of this is The Woman at the Well, when she said to the town people Jesus "told me all things that I ever did." Husbands who serve Christ become gifted to easily understand all the different stuff their wives think and try to do, and to understand what they need to learn. That is why Paul directs women to be silent and to learn from their husbands.
The reason wives have difficulty submitting to this is because they are seldom satisfied with their Husband's logical explanations. They also like to complain with "how he seems to be." That is from their compulsion to read in between the lines of everything said.
Hope this helps.
