And again…
“A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man; she must be quiet. For Adam was formed first, then Eve. And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner.”
1 Timothy 2:11-14 NIV
A woman, singular. Not ‘women’, plural. The context strongly suggests that Paul had a particular woman in view, and that his intent was that she learn the Christian faith properly before teaching. People are not supposed to learn indefinitely and never do anything with their knowledge.
God did indeed form the man first, but the passage does not support your statement.
