Are you saying that it’s OK for women to preach as long as they don’t hold the office of ‘preacher’?

No. I'm saying that "preacher" isn't an office in the church. Words mean stuff.

Look, I'm not making up what I want to see in church. There hve been volumes written on this subject; so it's not a new thing. But when you take the entire tenor of Scripture + all of the passages that SPEAK DIRECTLY to the issue, you can come to no other conclusion that women cannot hold either of the two offices in the NT church. At least not biblically.

With that said, sinful man has always been free to "Do what is right in his own eyes."
