That is not a biblical statement.
women prophesied in church in the NT.
Give chapter and verse where women prophesied in the context of a church service, apart from the symbol being present that there was authority over them in the men who were present.
were they using sign language?
so any church, according to some, that allow women to even sing in church or say anything...including hello how are you...are in error

In context, it is referring to a woman teaching or usurping authority over a man.
Paul said that if anyone is contentious about the propriety in worship thing, that he had no such custom, as to head coverings, and that neither did the churches of God.
Iow, it was not a custom (it was not merely a cultural observance).
In fact, Paul refers to the order of creation (in 1 Corinthians 11:10) when he speaks of this propriety.
So, there is something eternal to this ordinance of holy scripture. For it is written in the timeless word of God.
