That is why he said for them to learn at home from their own husbands.
It never meant in this scripture that a women could not teach, speak, sing, or anything else.
If we want to go down the road of picking and choosing, then why do women sing? Why do they teach sunday school? That requires speaking.

I agree with you.
I also think that we need to read
1 Cor 11 (hair) and realize just how much was cultural there as well.
