Deacons are not the subject that matters.  We need to ordain women to priesthood.  Deacons are just another voteless, voiceless cage women would not be allowed to move beyond.  Priest are the ones that are promoted to bishops & cardinals & popes & women who are called to priesthood need to be allowed to do the vocation they were called to by God without sexist hatred being allowed to keep them from it.  

I read a recent survey with a group of young people who were Christians, from various churches, including Roman Catholic, as to why they left their religion to become non-affiliated.
The 2nd highest stated answer among them all was that the major religions did not act very Christian, further down the survey sexism LGBT hating, & too judgemental and arrogant were added to this concept of not very Christian behavior.  

So our problem now is that the hate is obvious not that it is new.  People, especially our young, are no longer willing to tolerate it which is very Christian of them.
