The context of Timothy 's words have to bear in mind the point in history when they were written. Women are much better teachers of children than men. Especially when it comes to literacy and social skilling. That is why there are a massive more female teachers in schools than male. Men as a whole lack the patience to teach in the modern world. Although there are some that can handle the stresses involved most lose the plot too easily. So Timorhy, who was probably correct at the time given that men always dumbed down women 's community standing was ultimately not able to account for 2000 years of civilisation structural advancement, and educational needs for a modern world. Doesn 't mean he wasn 't correct at the time.
