You agree that they used the argument of the inferiority of women. The fact is that they are STILL using that argument, only they aren't honest enough to admit it.

The Fathers most certainly were using the inferiority argument to establish the tradition of not ordaining women. The Didache, a very early document, states in as many words that women cannot be ordained because they are not worthy of it. I can give you all sorts of quotes by various Fathers saying the same thing.
