This priest is a prophet.  My 70+ years of experience as a woman deeply involved in the Catholic Church, as a wife for 50+ years and a mother have taught me the very lesson which Orobator relates.  I am particularly in agreement with his sense of  urgency about the discrimination.  His image of the obirin meta is perfect!  More symbolic, I think, than Andrew Rublev's icon.  Far more illustrative of the  creative, loving and devotional character of The Divine than the old man with a beard or the Dove, in my opinion.   I feel truly blessed to read this wonderful theology.  Thank you Joshua, for the article.  And just in time for Christmas!
