Here is an excellent article that digs into the Paul discussion with Timothy in 1 Timothy. If the forbidding of women to teach and have authority is a Universal Law or is a Local circumstance Paul is addressing.
The author demonstrates in Detail that it is Local and is addressing temple Prostitution.

2. Demonstrating the the Cult of Artimes/Diana said "men were the origin of Sin", in direct contradiction to God's word.

It is not a to be a Universal command and those who advocate for that view are without merit or standing. Further more those who oppose do so in completely without any knowledge of the subject.

Ah, 1 Timothy 2…the foundation of most debates concerning women in ministry. It is here where Paul tells women to...shut it. Why does he do it? Well, let's back up for a second, as a lot of critical issues go into this text...including: literary context, grammar, history, and culture. I’d love to
