The article says 

<blocquote>When I told my new department chair that I wanted to teach a course on women and religion, he protested that I was hired to teach systematic theology. I asked Carr what I should say in response, and she said, "Tell him that feminist theology is systematic theology: It asks what difference it makes if women as well as men are taken into consideration."</blockquote>

So considering things such as scholasticism is relevant to this discussion.
