why are top posts of every religion dominated by males

Two parties are locked in a power struggle, and the leaders of these parties happen to be heirs to the predecessors.
Most countries, although give women a great deal of Freedom, such as America or Switzerland, they do not tend to give them the top seat, perhaps in fear of losing the rigid nature of society that most people have so far been accustomed to.

Heirs to the predecessors?
Can you elaborate on that please... I was always intrigued by the fact the Bangladeshi PM was a woman, similar for the opposition.
--- Quote ---Often, woman activists are not fighting for equality, but rather dominance over their counterparts.

I'm a girl, and I agree to what you just said.
To ponder: religion came into existence by men? And not women?

Long story cut short, they are the wives or daughters of past influential Bengali leaders. Quite frankly they did not rise up the posts, simply when their husbands or fathers died, they ascended to the thrones of their respective parties.
Khaleda Zia was President Zia's (A powerful army general) wife. Sheikh Hasina was Sheikh Mujib's Daughter (Father of the nation). So essentially there was no rise up in ranks, they simply assumed the position that their family members left.
Bengali Politics is complicated by definition, you will not find any type of politics so vulgar.
For your second question. There is no logical explanation, as logic is flawed in the making.

Yes, Khaleda Zia has a son, who I believe is going to take her role.
Sheikh Hasina has a son, who is highly educated. But I believe his taste lies elsewhere, and he is not capable with leading Bangladesh.
And this type of Politics exists elsewhere as well. You look at Pakistan, you get Zardari who is Bhutto's Husband.
And the next in line to power in the party is Bhutto's son.

Yeah, I'd followed Benazir Bhutto's 'era' well.
So, bottom thought: Governments are monarchies now.
