Lin,
This is a good question, but if the patriarchists are correct, which part of 1 Timothy 2:12 permits a woman to teach a man in the presence of another man? It would be giving permission by a man to do something that apparently God forbids.

The real issue is how patriarchal types can give a woman the ability to teach at all. As far as spirituality goes, it appears to be case closed. Of course we know that women can teach other women how to clean the house and love their husbands. 🙂
