It can have practically any meaning, because this word is used only once in the whole New Testament. As you can see on biblehub.com, various translations translate the word in quite different ways, because nobody knows what it should exactly mean.

If it is not after Christ we must “beware” as we read,
Scripture given by God does not harm women. Unless the women cling too close to the modern world and women liberation groups etc.
No one is born into the church (the body of Christ) unless they are born from above .
Society doesn’t move into a better way than God has already given for the church.

1 Corinthians 14:34-37 “Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law.35. And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.36. What? came the word of God out from you? or came it unto you only?37. If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord.”
