I understand the purpose of the top-ten list at this link, identifying supposed reasons that no men should be ordained. That is, the purpose is to take some of the arguments against women's ordination and try to turn them on their head. Ultimately, the list ends up refocusing us on the real issue why men are to be ordained and women are not: Scripture teaches it.
So, while I doubt the post at "Christian Feminism" (think "Hindu Cannibalism" or "Muslim Alcoholism") was intended for the purpose of recentering the debate on women's ordination, it does serve that purpose.
While a lot of the mocked statements may be real reasons why it is imprudent for women to serve as elders, they are not ultimately the real reason: the real reason is that God has decided.
