I wrote a whole book on the issue of hierarchy in Christianity, including in-depth analysis of the "women be silent" passage which is NOT a law from Moses but from the Talmud. Paul is quoting the people he's refuting, not ordering women to be silent. How could Paul overturn what Jesus taught about "not so among you"? How could Paul tell women to prophesy and then to shut up? How can any Christian wish to retain flesh-based entitlement over other Christians? To interpret the NT as teaching male preeminence is to defy Christ and make Paul a self-contradictory rebel.

Disregarding the pejorative "feminist" for the moment, rest assured that I am not advocating any softening of the Bible's actual teachings to the church. Twisted is what people do to Paul when they make him a misogynist or even just a sexist. God is still not a respecter of persons; flesh is nothing. Yes, men do crave to rule, this is what you're proposing. Changing "over" to "for" is doublespeak.
