There is some truth in the thought that men don’t value co-ed roles as much as male only roles. The Catholics do well with a male only priesthood, and most baptists are male only. I believe orthodox and Missouri synod lutherans are male only. Paul indicates that men are less likely to be deceived than women, but just fine with outright disobeying God to please women.
My memory says Wesley employed women from the outset, but that it was rare. The American frontier was hardlu safe for a traveling female alone and on horseback.
In any case, the denominations birthed from methodism can be more willing to use women...assembly of God, Church of God, etc.
In general, my observation is that it tends over time to decrease male participation.
Correct: The Orthodox (all jurisdictions), LCMS, and Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod are male-only. So are some geographic and some affinity Dioceses of the Anglican Church of North America.

The Salvation Army (a descendant of Methodism) had female Officers (clergy) from the very beginning. Evangeline Booth (William Booth's wife) is held in high esteem as a role model.
well orthodoxy in general doesn’t have priestesses or pastoresses, though deaconnesses are not unusual in time or geography.
Female church leaders affecting male participation is one thing - which I didn’t think of.
But my question was more pertinent to the spread of LGBTQABCDE and whether this is related to female priestesses/pastoresses
