OP clericalism and sexism

This picture appears on the international website of the Dominican Order. The caption under the picture reads:

The sisters visited the Convent of Santa Sabina where fr Michael Mascari, OP, the Socius for Intellectual Life offered an insightful tour of the convent and basilica. The entire meeting was an opportunity for an intercultural regeneration to which each sister brought something unique from her homeland.

Not one name of a single sister in the picture, yet we get the name of a Dominican priest, who does not feature in the picture.

Sexism and clericalism in one short paragraph.
