This scripture shows you the type of sexiest attitude toward women at the time. The scripture itself says "if the women should learn anything" implying that a women wont know much. This is the type of stuff years ago that turned me away fromreligions likeIsraelites besides the multiple wife thing. I can not be apart of any group or belief that limits or encourages ignorance in women. Not being able to ask questions is like your auditing the class and in that case your not learning the lessons, your studying the teacher, the students a few points and the repoire of the class. I know in lots of societys today and in the ancient world may have saw ignorance and not much knowledge as a virtue in a women but thats the mindset of an insecure person that needs everyone around him to be dumber or lesser then him so he or she can feel superior and in control.

My mother tried to explain it to me when i was young and she said they should be quiet because the babies might start crying and that will disturb the other people and she would have to leave. Me being the inquisitive kid that i was ask many versions of the same question like "what if you don't have kids or shes old"? "or what if her kids are not there or grown?."She said since the pastor would be there and would know more then everybody she could just chill and let the pastor talk" " Im like what if she knows alot too, as much as the pastor or even more, why can't she be the pastor?" At that point my mother just kind of gave up because i can see in her eyes it didnt even make sense to her.

Asks yourself why is it really ashame if a woman thats intelligent has something to add or a question, why shouldnt she be allowed to ask in church or whereverand be limited to the knowledge her husband gives her? Sounds like a mental prison to me.Even if shes not that bright she could have something insightful to add or a question that might help her own knowledge and her husband don't know either? Its not like every man is super intelligent but they respect that he can have valuable jewels to add even if they dont agree, why it can't be the same for women? Of course it should be at the right time to talk and ask questions and not in the middle of a sermon and you cutting people off or something.
