Nonetheless, ordaining female priests at this moment in history would be ill-advised. A priest's most important function is to forgive sins. Women never forgive anything. Dorothy Parker (1893-1967) explained why in her "Ballad of Unfortunate Mammals":

Love is sharper than stones or sticks;
Lone as the sea, and deeper blue;
Loud in the night as a clock that ticks;
Longer-lived than the Wandering Jew.
Show me a love was done and through,
Tell me a kiss escaped its debt!
Son, to your death you'll pay your due -
Women and elephants never forget.

in every corner of the world and in every epoch of history, the men and women of every culture deserve each other (see Ask Spengler, February 24, 2004). The First Corollary to the Universal Law of Gender Parity adds that any injury one gender inflicts upon the other will be repaid in full. Whenever men intimidate women, for example, women revenge themselves upon their sons. That explains (for example) why covert homosexuality abounds in putatively macho cultures.
