Paul was basically saying, if women don't cover their heads in gatherings while prophesying, they look like harlots. And it was a big deal, because while prophesying they had the entire groups attention. Custom in Paul's day was that a woman should wear a head covering when in mixed company. It wasn't required if the gathering was strictly women.
So... the fact that Paul allows a woman to prophesy with her head covered indicates that a woman can indeed speak before mixed company. Now, you'll argue that "prophesying isn't preaching". And frankly, I think that's stupid. Because prophesy is anointed preaching that is being led of the Holy Ghost wherein words of knowledge, wisdom, and interpretation often flow.

Frankly I think making up one's definitions to terms is the same. It has been shown repeatedly on this forum what the definitions are, just keep covering your eyes and making up the definitions. The term is break forth under sudden impulse and to foretell future events, comes through revelation. A gift of the Spirit and not preaching. You are the one inserting modern concepts into the text.
