However, men are not to be subordinated to women in regards to teaching.

Could you explain what you mean by subordinated?

Does that mean that a woman with superior knowledge cannot biblically impart that knowledge to a man?

No, it means that a woman is not to be in a position of authority over a man. I have learned many valuable lessons from authors who are wommen, but I am not to be under the authority of a woman. BTW - the principle here is that teaching is to carry some authority with it. Teaching without authority is a waste of time and breath.

"Let the women learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. For Adam was first formed, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression." I Tim 2:11-14

This is addressed in the article. The article's author attempts to sum up the legitimacy of his position with the following: "Yet, the complexity and difficulty of the passage is mirrored in the disagreement it evokes among even conservative scholars." The author eventually finds himself with no final basis save for four possible interpretations 'here' and a few more options 'over here.' It seems we can apparently assume the author considers himself a "liberal."

With Titus 1:5-16 describing why only the most blameless men (and only men) must be elders, I do not understand why we cannot hold all men to the status of the spiritual leaders of God's own house.

Does this mean that women cannot impart scriptural wisdom and knowledge upon men from time to time? No. But to be put into a semipermanent position of such authority is not specifically allowed in Scripture.

I stand corrected in one aspect of my prior answer.

The author apparently is a women.

It is in her selfish interest to interpret in this way, I might add.
