The GR for usurp is interesting. authenteō
Thayer's has it in latter Greek as one who acts on his own authority, to govern, or excercise dominion. Teaching in the church is done by authority and is a dominon. This has not been given to women because of the order of their creation and their weakness in regard to deception.
I understand the reaction to Gill's comment regarding superiority now. I look at his comment in terms of how the text defines it: Order and weakness. Men are superior in their ability to not be decieved and also to rule.
