Impasse. :)  

 Tri, is it possible for you to turn the question around and ask:  Is there some sort of message in the fact that people are not prioritizing the sacrificial aspect of Mass?  The last one hundred and fifty or so years have brought about a sea change in virtually every aspect of mankind's experience of life, especially in the West and especially for women and children in the West.  The idea of God sacrificing his first born son is not exactly the kind of thing children raised with Care Bears are going to connect with when it comes to God.  It makes God more like Chuckie the Clown than a loving father.  The younger generations aren't buying into this theological justification for the Mass and if they don't buy into your view of the Mass, they aren't going to buy into your notions of maleness being essential to the ontological change in the priestly candidate.  This is one reason among others they are throwing the baby out with the bathwater and using the exit doors.
