I understand the issue raised is not how heirchalists teaching and practices make “them feel” or even any one woman, but that the practices and teaching devalue women, in general.

I assume as you, these ladies do not “seek to teach men” because it is not an option in the paradigm in which they function. No doubt, they are content with their sphere of influence.

I am new to this subject matter, but I don’t think the issue is about “seeking to teach men” but about whether or not one sex is to rule over the other and the implications this has for society, the church, and the other sex.
