1 Timothy 2 is a verse from the New Testament that reads, "I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; rather, she is to remain quiet." This verse is often used to argue against women teaching or having authority over men in church settings, but interpretations vary widely.
I think the statement is probably slightly ambiguous when removed from context and not taken literally, but I think the Literal Standard Version seems more clear:
also the women in like manner, in orderly apparel, to adorn themselves with modesty and sobriety, not in braided hair, or gold, or pearls, or clothing of great price, (10) but—which becomes women professing godly piety—through good works. (11) Let a woman learn in quietness in all subjection, (12) and I do not allow a woman to teach, nor to rule a husband, but to be in quietness, (13) for Adam was formed first, then Eve, (14) and Adam was not deceived, but the woman, having been deceived, came into transgression, (15) and she will be saved through the childbearing, if they remain in faith, and love, and sanctification, with sobriety.
I don't think that "remain quiet" makes the most sense for the translation because it comes across as "shut up", but it means something closer to tranquility, gentleness, and a state of listening.
Although, I will note that this passage is none to appreciative of braids.

Between the people who actually read and understand it vs. the people who ignore it and substitute "what makes me feel good"
