Those who believe this is appropriate treatment of women are accepting a lie. He was instructing women who were used to worshiping God separately from the men and were so excited to be together they wanted to talk and laugh and have fun. The truth is God did not design women as the inferior gender. Both were created in his image. Women are joint heirs with Christ.
Women are co-workers in the gospel.
Paul learned from Jesus and then taught what he learned. Jesus had elevated women to the equality God intended them to have. Let's give up the Hellenistic deceptions perpetrated on us by Socrates, Plato and Aristotle. Let's cling to the Truth, to Christ who loves women as much as he loves men. I don't know about you, but I couldn't give my heart or life completely to him if I believed he thought of me as an inferior being with an inferior future.
