I checked it out and that is a real verse. I believe but, I don't know what to think of things like that. So sexist

These are the instructions of Paul. What he thinks. Some believe that Paul here prohibited teaching only by women not properly instructed, i.e., by the women at Ephesus. Such women tended to exercise authority over, i.e., to domineer, the men. Others maintain that Paul did not allow a women to be an official teacher in the assembled church.
To your question "how should they be dealt with". If you will look right above in 1 Timothy 2: 8 I want men everywhere to lift up holy hands in prayer, without anger or disputing. In other words pray for the sinner.

First off, a husbands rule COMES THIRD, THIRD to a woman behind the rule of God, then Christ and then the Husband to a woman (1 Cor. 11:3).
The headship of the husband places on him a weighy responsibility. While he is the owner of the wife, he has to recognize that she is precious in the eyes of God, especially so when she is a Christian. He is to love her as he loves himself, for she is "one flesh" with him. (Gen. 2:24; Matthew 19:4-6; Eph.5:28,33).
Even if the wife is not a believer, this gives the husband no excuse for divorce or separation. Rather, he should live with her if she is agreeable to it and realize that he may help her to become a believer and also work toward the the salvation of the children. (1 Cor 7:12, 14, 16)

A text taken out of context is nothing but a con.
The above passage is from a longer chapter, dealing with inappropriate interpersonal dealings in one fellowship gathering. It is NOT a blanket "all men are in charge of all women" license.
Christian men also stumble.
If we, as Christians, see any of our brothers or sisters get tangled up in a sin, then we should first pray for that sibling. Then we should see what God wants us to do for that person, if anything. This is not about "lordship" over other people. It is about helping people through difficult situations.

Once again...where are you getting taught? This is a passage that was written for a specific situation happening in the church at that time. You had some unruly women that were out of line in the sight of God. They had to be dealt with in this manner to bring order in the church. This is not a passage that speaks for all women and men. If it were so, remember in the Book of Judges when God gave victory to Isreal via a woman. I mean that means women were better in battle right? Come on ...we are in the end times, many sons and daughters will prophesy which means preach. Remember the Spirit of God does not recognize male or female. It exposes sin not status or rank. I am tired of men that are not secure with their own manhood. Instead of putting women in their place be the priest of your home and lead by example. Try asking God instead of your ego about this.

Christian men sin too. How should they be dealt with.
What about the Christian priest who molest little boys. Or the Christian men who watch porn, buy whores, lie, cheat and steal.
"Romans 2:1. Therefore you have no excuse, whoever you are, when you judge others; for in passing judgment on another you condemn yourself, because you, the judge, are doing the very same things."
Matthew 7:2-5 declares, "For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, Let me take the speck out of your eye when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye."

Another misinterpretation.
They're speaking of women in positions of church pastors etc.
Women in that culture weren't held in the highest regards.
That wasn't Jesus' position, however. Several Marys, Martha, a woman at a well, and a woman with an alabaster box of ointment, over in Matthew 26:7-13, will be memorialized forever.

Women haters look for whatever excuses, whatever justifications, they can find for their hate.
Most haters of any kind do.
Look long enough and hard enough and somewhere in the Christian holy scriptures you'll find, taken out of context, some phrase to suite your need to hate.
Look a little deeper and you'll find passages praising women, encouraging women and putting women on a pedestal. Of course, those who want to hate stop looking when they think they've found their excuse.
A perfect example: I had an ex-mother-in-law who hated blacks and needed a justification for this hatred. She found only one possible phrase that could apply and lived by it. The passage was from the Old Testament and says something like "Ye should not marry of another tribe."
This was her excuse to hate. It made no difference to her when I pointed out that she had herself married into a different tribe (she is of Dutch heritage and her husband was an Englishman).

Geez what a question from a person with the screen name "scorched anus"
So are you saying that only Christian women sin. You are so full of crap... Oh I just figured out why you are using that screen name. Mine you own f'ing business and let God do his job. We will all be judged when we die.
I would like to see you try to make me "learn in silence with full submission" You've heard the saying I'll burn you a new one. Then scorched anus won't just be your screen name Jerk

That certainly affirms my belief that the bible is a load of CRAP!
In my opinion, God would never feel that way about any of his children.
Some men that were annoyed with their women and the state of the people decided to pen that garbage.
