As a woman, I would have to see examples. As you can see, I have been on this board since fall of 2008.
As has been pointed out on other threads (perhaps some prior to one year ago), this is an ambiguous phrase without a context. “Being treated as equals?” Does this, to you, mean the same functions as men? (Even though you do state that ordination is not an interest or issue of yours.) Right now, women are the principle catechists in the Roman Church, everywhere. As a teacher myself (not curently catechetically), I find the role of the teacher to be quite influential, and in the catechetical setting, one is forming people spiritually (including on the adult level).
Women have elevated positions in Catholic school education, such as leading the diocese in Catholic school curriculum, such as developing materials both for religious education and secular subjects. They lead retreats in many locations, sometimes exclusively. They head up a whole range of ministries in the parishes and in the Church – from social justice to music to spirituality (prayer groups, scripture study, women’s journeys). Independently, women can act as spiritual directors in the Church. It is not necessary to be ordained to be a spiritual director, and some of them are very effective, and many of them are considered very needed.
Women are very visible in the pro-life movement and prominent in Catholic media. Teresa Tomeo, Mother Angelica, and Johnette Benkovic would all be very surprised to learn that “they are not being treated as equals.” (Those are just 3 of many examples.) Wherever parishes are near intellectual centers, such as Catholic colleges and theology schools, learned women are often invited to speak on some rarefied topic at the local parish.
Women head up independent religious congregations and communities, with a great deal of autonomy in that respect. There are also some women with important consultant roles in the Vatican.
What can they not do? They cannot be ordained. (You claim that doesn’t interest you.) Therefore, they cannot move up through the ranks to administrative levels such as bishop and cardinal. Therefore, they cannot participate directly in the election of any Pope. (The vast majority of Catholic men --lay, clergy, and religious-- also cannot participate directly.
)
It’s also important to note that priests, bishops, cardinals, and the Pope himself are, at various points in their careers, anywhere from lightly to heavily influenced by women. That influence contributes indirectly and sometimes very powerfully to their formation. Of course, the more aware men understand that and sometimes speak about it. But whether or not they speak about it, formation also influences decisions. When, for example, the Cardinals prepare for a new papal election, implicitly they are thinking of the whole Church, not half of the Church. If they are men of prayer –
and charitably we assume they are – they have considered and will consider the needs of women who have expressed those needs to them – in person, in the confessional, in spiritual direction, in marital counseling & preparation, in friendships both personal and professional they share with women.
I take a little bit of offense at what seems to be implied in your tone – that being male somehow inevitably means excluding the needs of women. In the 19th century and early 20th, probably, and it was true of non-Catholic males as well. In the 21st? Seldom.
Are you getting your information from the dated TV show,
Mad Men? In fact, the Catholic Church is one of the few places in the modern world that it seems that women are not treated as one of those two extremes – especially as #2.
(1) You’d have to give at least some general excamples of this on CAF, such as thread titles or subjects
(2) You’d also have to give some examples “in church” as well, for me personally to believe such a sweeping statement. (We have altar girls and women at one of my local parishes, and most of the lectors are female as well, as are the EMHC’s.)
Probably it’s time to propose a sticky on the role of women in the Church. To follow previous proposal to have a sticky on the Loving case. 
CCC 85) “The task of giving an authentic interpretation of the Word of God, whether in its written form or in the form of Tradition, has been entrusted to the living teaching office of the Church alone. Its authority in this matter is exercised in the name of Jesus Christ.” This means that the task of interpretation has been entrusted to the bishops in communion with the successor of Peter, the Bishop of Rome.
