Wizard - I think that God created men and women as equals, but with different roles, strengths, talents.
Mans role is to lead, teach, instruct in matters of fath, but women do not have a lesser role, merely a different role. This includes support for the assembly and teaching whatever dogma has been agreed, to other women and youngsters.
But, the important point is that a womans duties are complementary to a mans, just as a mans are complementary to a womans.
I therefore disagree with the ordination of women, but this is not chauvanism, just a recognition of the dual complementary roles that both have.
Leading on from this, I don't think Pauls instruction can be interpreted any other way than how it reads.
