In Church they learn they can be Pastors or speak in the Church the same as men. What do we expect?

If you read the original article, you'll see something. The (catholic) church came to be viewed as something primarily for women and children. Yet, in those churches women had no illusions about pastoring or speaking/teaching/preaching.
This isn't about women assuming leadership positions. It is about religion becoming increasingly effeminate in itself, thus men decided it's not really for them. They still attended, and expected their women to be involved (to maintain chastity, for example) and they still expected their children to attend (learn morals, manners, responsibity, etc).
What happened was the men came to view religion as a social tool necessary for women and kids. Thus, they themselves tuned out on a personal level while maintaining the institution as a sort of daycare for the wife and kids. The end result was a general anticlerical attitude began to permeate society. Eventually, it led to major decline in the church's social influence. It became irrelevant.
We're on the same trajectory in America, today. Religion has become effeminate, and men more and more are dropping out (and often taking their families with them). The ones that remain are doing what those in the article did. This has been going on since probably at least the 50s-60s, and we are beginning to see the results as the numbers of unchurched and "formerly churched" people and families steadily increase.
And young people, looking at the problems engulfing society, see the American Church™ as part of the problem, because of its promoting SJWisms, liberalisms, and general cuckoldry and effeminacy. In other words, the modern Christian church is being increasingly viewed as weak and ineffective.
