Unfortunately, their (all male) thoughts have made it into canonical stone, theological stone, cultural stone, Vaticanal stone -- and all of that rigidity is 99% without benefit of any woman's perspective.  Excepting a handful of 20th-21st century female theologians and a few female saints -- almost all of whom were consecrated religious, even though previously married/widowed -- the entire body of Catholic theology has been developed and written from a singular (male) viewpoint, which makes it gravely warped and lopsided as well as all the poorer for its lack of female substance, in my own opinion, of course.  There is a huge difference between homespun devotional writing by faithful women and the weight of systematic theology and philosophy, developed by women of intellectual stature like Johnson and Delio (one of my faves, too). 

I've personally come to a watershed point where I consider those who don't advocate for women's equality as standing squarely against it.
