text: Why not join one of any number other churches that would be more than happy to ordain you? I don't understand. Why do you want so badly to be ordained in the Catholic church, especially when you think it is so sexist and discriminatory? Should they also drop celibacy vows? How about including married people? Why discriminate against them when marriage is a sacrament? Point is, if tradition and orthodoxy don't matter a wit to you, then why not join a church that has your same beliefs? It's not just that you want something, it's that you want someone else to stop being who they are so that you can have what you want. I love the Catholic church precisely because it is unique in tradition, orthodoxy, and historicity. If it loses those I would no longer have any desire to be Catholic, I would just find a church that makes me feel the best about what I believe. If I want to be part of the Catholic church it is me that should conform, not the church. That's the whole point after all.
