Since most of them came out of Methodist, Wesleyan or Holiness churches and have much in common with them doctrinally (the Vineyard, being of the "Third Wave, is an exception), this is not surprising. I do not know of any Wesleyan or Methodist denomination of any numerical significance in the USA that does not ordain women.

Beware of a religion without holdfasts. But if I get a grip upon a doctrine they call me a bigot. Let them do so. Bigotry is a hateful thing, and yet that which is now abused as bigotry is a great virtue, and greatly needed in these frivolous times. I have been inclined lately to start a new denomination, and call it "the Church of the Bigoted." Spurgeon
