Mary Daly, a self described "hag", is very anti male and rejects the incarnation of God as Jesus because He is male. If she rejected Jesus because He was incarnated as a Jew we would justly label her antisemitic and we can just as justly label her sexist for the above reason.
She also prefers to be called a "thealogian" rather than theologian since the latter word comes from the Greek "theos" or "god".
She also is anti Christian and resents being labelled(inaccurately) Christian
In Judaism, Islam and Christianity, God is Eternal and Infinite Ultimate,perfect,pure and completely Spirit and not male or female. This is true of Jesus divine nature also ,but His human nature and DNA is male human

The corollaries of that are numerous:
'If God exists, then existence is God.'
'If God is crazy, then crazy is God'
It is typical mumbo-jumbo that can easily be debunked by inserting any sentiment you wish to prove.
Obviously, in this case, this woman wanted to make sure that women in religion remain beaten down and seen as second class citizens - and THIS is from a female theologian, and you wonder why religion is still caught somewhere in the nineteenth century intellectually speaking.
EDIT - having read her wikipedia page, I can only think that she meant this as a point for discussion and not her own personal belief. Still, it is an interesting debate.

Before obtaining her three doctorates in sacred theology and philosophy from the University of Fribourg, Switzerland, she received her B.A. in English from The College of Saint Rose, her M.A. in English from The Catholic University of America, and a doctorate in religion from St. Mary's College.
She is also a radical feminist....not someone I would read or believe...

She's not a theologian, she is a radical feminist who managed to get in and teach as a theologian.
She got into trouble when she banned male students from some of her classes.
