Theology aside, as a practical matter I’m not sure of any religious group that has allowed women in leadership clergy roles that has then remained orthodox. If there were a bunch of examples of conservative female clergy it might not be that bad, but for some reason all one hears about concerning female clergy is there positive take on one liberal issue or another. For instance, there has never been a group that became more conservative on an issue after they started allowing female clergy, at least that I am aware of anyhow.

I think you are confusing cause with symptom.

Many times in the past it was more likely that the women were more conservative. It is generally turned now, but that is not a hard fast rule of history. In fact, women here are just as likely to be conserv as liberal. We are not monolithic.
