I wouldn't take that one too far. The majority of the problems in Christianity over the centuries have been the product of imaginative, hungry, and even evil men.
And like a lot of things, there is debate over how far to take that "women can't teach" thing. It might be for real. But it might have been a societal norm of the time. Tough to tell. Even from Paul's own words.
