Jesus did the impossible. Many times, in a wide range of areas.  He turned water into wine.  He was seen as a radical even then, dealing with Samaritans, violating Sabbath rules, telling people that he was "Lord of the Sabbath", that He/Jesus could forgive sins!!

He countered Moses's ruling about divorce, explaining that he could incarnate a piece of bread.

Women as priests would have been quite easy.  but He didn't. 

Using a 1960s socioloigical  argument is not convincing or compelling.
