The females you are referring to were, if not some kind of leader or priest, not some kind of leader or priest.

So are you saying even apostles don't teach others? That's kinda their job.

There wasn't any such thing as a "priest" in New Testament times either.

There is a difference between helping out in various ways and being leaders and priests. Paul was clear on this. See for example 1 Corinthians 14:33-35 and 1 Timothy 2.

I think Paul meant what he said, regardless of pseudo-Paul not liking it and inserting the verses you're referring to into his epistles.
