Seeing as this seems to be a direct contradiction against women prophesying and the Bible allows women to prophesy to men elsewhere in the Bible, it only makes sense that this must be speaking of something other than women prophesying and is likely connected to the cultural context of women and men being separated and possibly women being unable to hear what was going on.
Since women were used powerfully by God in prophesying to Kings about going to war (Huldah) and in judging the people of God and leading them (Deborah) and the Bible specifically states that sons and daughters shall prophesy, those who don't want women to speak in the church at all find themselves wrestling with scripture in my opinion. They also allow women to testify and sing and other things, but say they draw the line at preaching or pastoring. Since God saw fit for a woman to lead Israel altogether (Deborah), I think in certain circumstances it can be good and fine for a woman to lead the whole camp. There is a terrible and nasty spirit that makes all women into Jezebels and flaming feminists for simply wanting to be used of God. Shame.
Anyway, there's my two cents, for what it's worth.

Glad to see you throwing your hat in the ring for a go-round...
