I would expect most commentary on this verse to be similar.

The issue is whether we can find any verses which demonstrate a woman being other than quiet in the church. We can find them.

Therefore, an alternative explanation would be based upon that discrepancy. The alternative is that this is a husband/wife issue, and not a male/female issue.

Being quiet in the church does not equal not having authority over a man in the church. Women can run Ministries for other Women, Kids, or act as support for a ministry. But I am not aware of a verse when a woman is put in authority over a man ** within the church **..

Paul intends to say just what is said, that a Woman should not be in authority over a man in the church...
