Can anyone please tell me where in the bible it says about "Women not being preachers and standing in the authority of men"?

For the sake of FAIRNESS, I'd much rather not tell you where... because I think it's wrong.
Peace be with you.

well Headship of the man in the family and the church is established in many places.
None of the Apostles were women.
Old testament Priests were never women.
The head of the house is to be the man.
With those examples, why would Christ put the woman to take authority over many men when he has established that men are to take authority..
Women are put over other women in the church and we have women preach and teach, but we don't put them in authority over the men.

This is where putting your trust in the Bible is unfaithful to Jesus, to whom you confess to believe in.
If you believe in Jesus why would you listen to the words of Peter, Paul, Moses or the Prophets.
What did Jesus tell us concerning women preachers and standing in the authority of men.
When Mary Magdalene, told the apostles she had seen Jesus they did not believe her. They went fishing.
The only memorial Jesus ever gave to anyone was Mary, for Jesus said, wherever THIS gospel is preached, you shall start with "Peace be unto you", and end it with, " Do this as a memorial unto her, for she has anointed my body at the hour of my death, do this in remembrance of her ".
Believe in only the Words spoken by Jesus.

1 Timothy 3:
1It is a trustworthy statement: if any man aspires to the office of overseer, it is a fine work he desires to do.
2An overseer, then, must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, temperate, prudent, respectable, hospitable, able to teach,
3not addicted to wine or pugnacious, but gentle, peaceable, free from the love of money.
4He must be one who manages his own household well, keeping his children under control with all dignity
5(but if a man does not know how to manage his own household, how will he take care of the church of God?),
==================
Ephesians 5
22 Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. 23 For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body. 24 Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything.
25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, 26 that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, 27 that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish. 28 So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself.

You've already been given the answer. Just wanted to add: be careful, this is the meat of the Word, not conversion material.

1 Corinthians 14:34,35; The women are to keep silent in the churches; for they are not permitted to speak, but are to subject themselves, just as the Law also says. If they desire to learn anything, let them ask their own husbands at home; for it is improper for a woman to speak in church.
