Hi Kristen,
Even if Cheryl did misunderstand your exact meaning for authentein, wouldn’t the basic question still apply of why the women would only be stopped from teaching the men? I can possibly understand how the women may have been poorly educated and so shouldn’t teach false things in a way that purports to be authoritative. But why only mention teaching to the men and not to the women also? What situation at Ephesus could require v12 to be written as it is?
Cheryl’s particular individual woman view does answer this question quite well.
