I am not sure anyone knows. What you're really asking is why did the Patriarchal society develop so early on in most societies? It isn't just religion but most societies quickly developed a male-dominated society. Even the first few examples of laws we see show women treated as second class citizens.
Maybe it's because physical strength would have mattered a lot more in early society and hunter-gather tribes etc. Maybe pregnancy caused a mythology to develop around the role of women. This is the kind of question that academics would spend their lives studying.
