Shalom.
I did not say that you are usurping authority. I do not even know what that means. What I am saying is that I am a male, a man, a Jew, even in Christ. You must read in context. What matters is that if you believe the truth you are in Christ, whether you are male or female it does not matter. I understand that you are female though you told me that your name is Abraham. Your picture indicates that you are a female. Paul said not to allow a woman to teach or exercise authority over a man. And that is what you are doing or trying to do.
Shalom.

You used the term "exercise authority". That means to take authority away, usurp, rule over. And you have no authority whatsoever (male or not) because you are not in any position of authority in the assemby (or out). Therefore, when you cite such a verse, you are using it in ERROR, and I'm correcting you. Whether you like it or not.
Paul was talking about church order....as in elders, etc. We are not in a church with elders and deacons, so you are ripping a verse out of context in order to get me to shut up. It won't happen. I am not out of order, but you are in need of instruction. You have gone back to the law, and that is a grave error on your part.
Unlike in your chosen religion, there is no middle wall of partition between men and women, between Jews and Greeks. Put simply, you are on the wrong side of the Cross, and are simply trying to straddle the fence. That's why you seem to have quite a significant wedgie going on.
You're standing there with a stick trying to mix oil and water. Stir, stir, stir....it won't work.
Take my advice and seek out instruction instead of thinking you'll ever be in a position to give it.
