This example, unlike the Corinthian case, does belong to an anti-woman
mentality.  The author of the Pastorals (not Paul!) had a gnostic bent which
spewed forth in his recommendation that women not be allowed to have any
authority over men.
Thus it is in no case "similar".

Which brings up an interesting point regarding Fee- why did he not attempt
to eliminate this verse on shaky text critical grounds as he did the passage
in Corinthians?
