The bible doesnt say any of these things..
Woman in those days werent educated and were not permitted to teach in a church. Just like most churchs now wont have a man or woman teaching in the church that isnt educated.
These passages arent saying that a man is better than a woman or that a man is more intelligent than a woman.
It is not saying that a mans role in this world is better than a womans role. It could be viewd as saying that they are different.
I can understand how you might take offence to some of these passages though.
