1 Timothy 2:12 — "teach" and "exercise authority" may be two aspects of the same role, not two separate prohibitions.

Mike considers whether "I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man" describes one thing (the teaching role carries authority) or two separate prohibitions. He leans toward them being the same thing expressed two ways: the teaching role is the authority role. This is specific to the local church, not businesses or civil government.
