Another point is that Titus 2 is giving advice to (ta da) Titus!

In the culture of that time, it would not be appropriate for a young man to meet with a young woman, there would be an assumption of adultery by the society.  In order to avoid the appearance of evil in that society, Titus cannot teach the young women, so Paul tells him to delegate that task to the older women, or women elders; this avoids any false appearances.

Titus can teach the older men/elders, older women/elders, and young men himself.

Most non-egals that teach about Titus 2 women do it from the entirely wrong perspective, as they do not catch the concern that Paul has.
