It really seems in this passage that Paul doesn’t like women much at all. Remember, though, that this wasn’t written to us. In the Ephesian congregation where Timothy was pastor, there was apparently an ongoing problem of order and pride. Paul is centering on the women’s issues here, because in that culture, it wasn’t customary for women to teach. A wealthy woman coming into the church would need to understand the need to be one in the body of Christ, and that meant not taking excessive measures to draw attention to themselves. It’s a tough passage, but remember that Paul was also a big proponent of grace. He wouldn’t hand these rules out for no reason.
