My 1st Corinthians says 14:34 "Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law."

Now I personally think that this law was based on a social situation that has changed quite a bit in the last 2,000 years.

But even if you feel this rule no longer applies it doesn't negate the fact that some in the congregation were not permitted to speak during the meeting and they were required to be under obedience. So if you want to use 1Cor 14 as a yardstick there was a vetting of speakers and there was a required submission concerning who spoke and who didn't.
