TOB is sexist.  JPII's view of women is degrading and does hold women back along with the idea of complementarianism.  Stating that girls are naturally less analytical than boys (which the Vatican does BTW in their pitful attempt at sex ed) is sexist.  I've pointed out in the past numerous times that Pope Francis' words on women, which are in line with JPII's attitudes, are condescending.  Telling women that they are biologically created to be sweet and special angel princesses full of compassion is code for suggesting they can only be mommies and housewives and that they don't have the ability to lead.
