I stay they believe women are inferior spiritually then men. You can refer to their poetry. I know because i use to read Sufi poetry.
Only media portrays Sufi poetry as feminist piece of art whereas Sufi poetry is not supposed to be what they want to make out of it. Just like you said, creative writers do not address is real life issues or problems at hand, media is far from the interpretation of Sufi poetry.
Just giving an example of line by Sultan Bahu.
Aiy dunya zan haiz pleeti

If you ask pro-sufis or someone from sufi study circle they will let you know the story behind this analogy.

Considering women go through menstural cycle and every month for certain days they are asked by their God to refrain from doing supreme form of worshipping by defaults adds to the idea spiritual weakeness.

I don’t live in Pakistan. never studied there, can’t finish a book in Urdu to save my life, don’t know what media says about Sufi poetry. However, I am a woman, an ex literature student, have studied plenty of feminist texts and the entire movement in itself, like to call myself a feminist. I can assure you, give me a Sufi text in an exam room condition and I would be able to answer how it is a pro-woman text. Literature is all about interpretation, there is technically no such thing is right or wrong literary interpretation.
