The utter silence view has a plain reading advantage but relies on verses out of context
Mike acknowledges the surface-level appeal of this view while noting its limitations.
If you pull verses 34-35 out of context and read them in isolation, you could understand them as commanding total silence for women in all church settings. However, a verse out of context can be made to say things the author did not intend. Mike compares it to Jesus saying 'if any man does not hate his father and mother, he cannot follow me' -- which in context means something different than the face-value reading.
