Therein lies the problem.
Only if you regard "feeling" as a fleeting, and changeable, emotion.
It can be.
It can also be a deep conviction that this is what God wants you to do; something which persists however much you try to ignore it and which you can't stop thinking about, however hard you try.
Something which you take to a male vicar/minister and tentatively say, "I'm not sure, but I think God may be asking me to do this", hoping that they will dismiss the idea - only to hear them say, "I think so too/I've been wondering when he would speak to you about that". And you find that he's not the only one who believes that.
God created feelings/emotions/convictions, he gave them to us and can speak to us through them.
I suspect if a man said, "I feel led/that God is calling me to be ordained", there'd be no such challenge.
