There seems to be some sort of excuse for this along the lines of the ‘rules’ only apply to a church, as in a physical building that is called a church. As far as I am aware, buildings that could be regarded as Christian churches did  not exist when the Bible was written. I have always regarded the word ‘church’ to have a much broader meaning, along the lines of ‘where two or more are gathered together in His name’ and the word church is then applicable to a house, a beach, a mountain top, a website etc. etc. So, IMO it is illogical to say its OK for women to teach men on a website but not in a building called a church. If two or more Christians are gathered together on a website to talk about and praise the Lord, then it is most certainly a church. The fact that the website is categorised as a non profit making charitable business in the same way that a ‘church’ is, rather bears that out.
