All knowledge is filtered through the golden rule book. It's a book Paul didn't have.
What Does the Bible Say About The Golden Rule?
Its not clear to me how not allowing women to speak in Church violates the golden rule, nor is it clear to me that the golden rule is a universal lens for looking at scripture.
If I was a woman I would not expect to be allowed to speak in Church.
Any unconfirmed ideology is like sitting on the tip end
of a dead tree limb that hasn't been shaken.
The writings of St. Paul are in the Bible because they are divinely inspired. We don't get to hack away at scriptures and just get rid of the ones we dislike, or that do not conform to modern sensibilities.
But we're not using this world to justify scripture.
We are using scripture to justify what we should be doing in this world.
Matthew 7:12
“So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.
Luke 6:31
And as you wish that others would do to you, do so to them.
Galatians 5:14
For the whole law is fulfilled in one word: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
Leviticus 19:18
You shall not take vengeance or bear a grudge against the sons of your own people, but you shall love your neighbor as yourself: I am the Lord.
Ephesians 4
Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.
Romans 13:9
For the commandments, “You shall not commit adultery, You shall not murder, You shall not steal, You shall not covet,” and any other commandment,
are summed up in this word:
“You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
Mark 12:31
The second is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”
Matthew 22:39
And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
Matthew 19:19
Honor your father and mother, and, You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
Matthew 5:44
But I say to you, Love your enemies...
James 2:8
If you really fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” you are doing well.
Romans 13:8-10
Owe no one anything, except to love each other, for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law. For the commandments, “You shall not commit adultery, You shall not murder, You shall not steal, You shall not covet,” and any other commandment,
are summed up in this word: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.
Luke 10:27
And he answered, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself.”
Mark 12:33
And to love him with all the heart and with all the understanding and with all the strength, and to love one's neighbor as oneself, is much more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.”
Matthew 22:37-40
And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets.”
Ephesians 4:32
Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.
Again you are making the assumption that not allowing women to speak in Church is an act of hatred. You are reading that into it based on modern assumptions about equality. Not all differential treatment is indicative of hatred. So I don't know what you are trying to prove.
