11Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.
12But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.
13For Adam was first formed, then Eve.
14And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.
15Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety
I don't believe it has anything to do with women preaching. I think it's because they can watch TV or use the internet instead of going to church.

I don't know where that guy got his info, but many churches standing today were started by women preachers and pastors. I know of a church that ran 500 while a woman was pastor. Today, it runs about 150 underneath the same male pastor that took over that church after her death several years ago.
My grandma is Methodist and has had a woman pastor for several years, even though it's been different pastors. Her church has also grown.

I don't believe in woman pastors but this verse has nothing to do with the topic.
You have to understand the context of the time and culture. Women were not allowed to learn at all. The Christian church changed that.
The setting is "learning", while in church during teaching they were not to speak.
From what I have heard before, churches were segregated with men on one side and women on the other. Women were not the loud boisterous types we have come to all known and love today :-)
Rather they were the kind that kept to themselves and deferred to the husband.
And so at church they were asking their husbands questions and disrupting the lesson. Paul is saying that they should wait and ask at home.
1Ti 2:10 But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works.
1Ti 2:11 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection
1Co 14:34 Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law.
1Co 14:35 And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.

Apostolic is defined on AFF as:
There is One God. This one God reveals Himself distinctly as Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
The Son is God himself in a human form or "God manifested in the flesh" (1Tim 3:16)
Every sinner must repent of their sins.
That Jesus name baptism is the only biblical mode of water baptism.
That the Holy Ghost is for today and is received by faith with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues.
The saint will go on to strive to live a holy life, pleasing to God.
Women can minister but not teach in a setting over men in which they are acting over heads of homes ala church setting. They can teach 60% of the population but not over men.
