Because men have an expected hierarchy, whereas women in the church in some ways can step out.

Do women play a somewhat marginal role in many respects? Yes, they do.
It seems the misconception in this thread is about priesthood power. Those who have it = 1st class. Those who don't = 2nd class.

That is an incorrect understanding of how the church functions. Until a person rids themself of this perspective, there's really no point in discussion women vs. men in the church.
