Take out the writings of Paul (who never actually met Christ) and the whole thing becomes so much less problematic.

  Have Christians all agreed to take out the gospel according to Paul?

    I can't remember ever being in a church where women were required to stay silent. So not quite dropped but at least not enforced by most. Ask me again once everyone dropped miles for metric.

      There are plenty of modern Christian sects where I'm certain men do get more of a voice than women.

  It's all in the Bible.

  The day Christians remove Paul's letters from the Bible, then your argument will make sense.

  Paul claims to have met Christ on the road to Damascus (Acts 9:3-6) [1] and claims apostolic authority because of it (Acts 15:3-8) [2]. Furthermore, other apostles agreed that he had, or at least that he had the correct message (Gal 2:6-10) [3] and that his writings had the force of scripture (2 Peter 3:15-16) [4]. It is a letter from Peter, the head of the church in Jerusalem, claiming equating Paul's writing with "the other Scriptures", so you can't take out Paul's writing by claiming that that the original apostles did not believe what Paul wrote.
