Isn’t that cherrypicking? If you discount what Paul says to Timothy as being applicable only to his church then you have to discount the rest:

" For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus, "

“Therefore I want the men everywhere to pray, lifting up holy hands without anger or disputing.”

There is nothing in the text to suggest that Paul was instructing only Timothy about a special case for his church. Paul said " I do not permit." He didn’t say, “You shouldn’t permit.”
