Hi David,
This morning on the Sola Panel blog you said regarding 1 Tim 2:8-12

“But as a matter of fact the other sex does not appear to be free from any of the problems Paul’s remarks are plainly designed to forestall: in which case none of the rules Paul lays down can be of such a nature, it could apply only to women. From which it follows what Paul says about women teaching etc. must apply to men also.”

I agree. I think this is a similar point to what I was trying to get across to a comp friend of mine in an email I sent a few days ago.
I said
“V8 opposes anger in prayer by men. He does not say it is ok for women to do this.
V9,10 opposes inappropriate dress by women. He does not say it is ok for men to do this.
V11,12 opposes teaching or “aunthentien”ing. Can you be sure he is saying it is ok for men to do this?”
