Broader context of 1 Corinthians 11-14 confirms it is about gathered worship: Lord's Supper and spiritual gifts in church
Mike appeals to the wider literary context to confirm his reading.
1 Corinthians 11:17-34 discusses the Lord's Supper (clearly a church gathering). Chapters 12-14 are entirely about spiritual gifts in church gatherings of mixed gender. The function of prophecy itself is for public benefit: 'the one who prophesies builds up the church' (1 Cor 14:3-4). Paul says in 14:29-31 'you can all prophesy one by one, so that all may learn.'
