From my memory "teach" meant "to define doctrine" or define what constituted "truth" in the church. So elder women teaching younger or inexperienced sisters in Titus (for example) would probably be understood in the "Lord's Recovery" as the same as teaching nursery school. Useful but auxiliary.

Yet their apologetics base the revelations of Nee on the teachings of various women. They were even widely regarded as his closest confidants ("co-workers"). Until he no longer needed them. Then they were tossed (Ruth Lee et al).

But their tombs remain, and the "Lord's Recovery" faithfully maintain them. Because at present they give a patina of legitimacy to the ideas of Nee. Yet how can women (who can't teach) be used to give the veneer of legitimacy to Nee's ministry? Why the gross dis-connect?
