""Paul was addressing specific circumstances in Ephesus, because in other Scriptures, Paul actually recognizes several women who were teaching and evangelizing alongside him (Romans 16:1-3; Philippians 4:2-3). Because women in Ephesus at this time were uneducated and secluded, Paul was warning that they could be misled by the false teachers trying to lure new Christians away from the church Paul wanted to establish."

Or, if you prefer
"The book of Acts includes many references to women teaching, leading, and speaking (including teaching men) in the early church. In Acts 2:17–18, Peter declares that the prophetic vision of Joel is coming to pass in the early church and includes the Holy Spirit being poured out on all flesh, including women who will prophesy. In Acts 16:14–15, Lydia is described as responding to the gospel and being responsible for the conversion of her entire household, a feat that would have required her to teach or preach the gospel to her household at minimum."
"In Romans 16:1–6, Paul sends greetings to many friends and fellow workers in the faith. He mentions many women who have been involved in leadership and service to his apostolic work, including Junia, who is listed as an apostle.
.
In Philippians 4:2–3, Paul references two women who have contended by his side for the cause of the gospel, an obvious testament to their work and leadership within the church.
.
In 1 Corinthians 11:5, Paul gives a specific instruction to women regarding etiquette to follow “when they pray and prophesy,” indicating that he has no objection to women speaking, praying, or participating in prophecy during worship, so long as it is done appropriately."
While I would love to take credit for this, it 100% goes to the person behind the link - I was just making the information available here as a direct response. I'm not an expert on the Bible even a little bit, but I have seen this argument made time and again, and it seems odd how few people acknowledge there's more than one interpretation to this passage.

Aaannnnd now I'm rambling. I'm glad you found the commentary worthwhile :)
