Egalitarian view #1: women couldn't be priests because of ceremonial uncleanness from menstruation and childbirth (Keener, Belleville).

Craig Keener says women couldn't be priests because of regular ceremonial uncleanness. Linda Belleville echoes this: 'purity laws precluded Jewish women from serving in certain ceremonial roles due to uncleanness related to childbirth and menstruation.' Mike notes Belleville says 'certain ceremonial roles' instead of plainly saying 'they couldn't be priests,' which he calls obfuscation. She provides no scripture reference.
