The Church does not think women are inferior.  You incorrectly infer that from the fact that the priesthood is restricted to men.  Read Edith Stein, and you may come to a different understanding.  

As for sensus fidelium changing, my position stands:  The exclusion of women from the priesthood was the accepted sensus fidelium, sanctioned by the Holy Spirit.  If it implied the inferiority of women, then that was sanctioned by the Holy Spirit.   Do you really contend that?  Or do you contend what is far more reasonable:  That there is no stigma of inferiority in the Church's seeing an ontological difference between men and women, and giving to men the role of "father."
