The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) has an all-male priesthood because this is what is directed in The Bible. (see 1 Timothy 3:2; 1 Timothy 3:12; 1 Timothy 2:12; 1 Corinthians 14:34; also take into account there are no women ordained in the Bible)

Although women are not ordained to the priesthood, they do hold leadership positions in the congregation and in the worldwide church. Women preach, teach classes, and lead congregational prayers every Sunday. Women are very active in working together with the priesthood and work side-by-side with the men in almost every situation.
