I must admit that I fail to see the relevance of this passage. She being a servant to the church is quite different than preaching to the men. Maybe you could enlighten me?
I suppose you could post some of the cases for consideration. I’m not really aware of there being so many.

The Greek word for servant is the same Greek word for deacon in
1 Timothy 3.
Additionally:
Romans 16:2
That ye receive her in the Lord, as becometh saints, and that ye
assist her in whatsoever business she hath need of you: for she hath been a succourer of many, and of myself also.
It appears to me that this lady was in a ministerial/leadership role to had been given this commendation to the church in Rome. It doesn't seem like she is going to be taught while she sits silently by.
