Does the Bible Permit Women to Lead, Teach, Preach or Speak?

There's not evidence that ANYONE preached in early worship. They were too disorganized for a quiet, restrained service with hymns and a sermon. Worship in Corinth, for example, had women prophets and speaking in tongues. Prophesying is the closest thing that we have to the modern sermon, and Paul regulates it (requires head coverings) rather than forbids it.

But you can slander the text to your liking. No one can stop you.

Yes. Children think like that.

Advice: It will be more elegant if you insult people in such a way that they feel complimented and thank you for it. And realize several hours later that they were insulted.

If you could work on your insults, and master it, your genius would be valued.

consider the traditional old-fashioned family where dad goes to work, and mom stays at home with the kids. The mom is the one at home, so she is the one who is helping kids with HW, going to parent-teacher conferences, organizing B-day parties, etc. etc. Dad is at work - because he is not in the home as much, he does not know what is going on as much - mom is the first one to find out about the fight at school, mom is the one who is there when everything happens. In this type of family, many think the dad is "in charge" because he brings home the $, but if you look at it, it's really the mom running everything...

I thought that in the "traditional" old-fashioned family, the kids are raised by Dad and the older siblings together, because Mom died in childbirth with her eighth child.

I know the OP is hermaneutical, but since people have brought in other aspects, I want to say how pointless it is to fight for rigid gender roles when there are so many other issues to address. The genders have far more commonalities than differences, and focusing on the differences often diverts attention from the actual problems. And masking problems with scripture perpetuates rather than solves them.

One thing that always drives me nuts is trying to categorize individuals based on the average values for the groups they belong to. For any characteristic you can measure, "men" and "women" aren't discrete values; they're distributions... and while the distributions may have different means, they overlap.
