Because there are over 4000 religions. Also matriarchal cultures exist. While their religions might still be sexist, it wouldn't be the women who are shooting themselves in the head.
The vast majority of those 4000 are not separate religions but subgroups of christianity, islam, judaisn, hinduism and budhhism. There are a few matriarchal societies but that is not the same as religion.
Religion and culture have a lot of influence on each other, it's not crazy to assume that some of those matriarchal societies have matriarchal religions.
Here are some non-patriarchal religions.
I believe a significant portion of that 4000 are small folk religions such as the ones on this page under the folk religions category.
I mean, the US definitely has a patriarchal culture, and Men still make up almost two thirds of suicides.
Sexism is bad for everyone, regardless of who the target is.
I'm not saying that matriarchal religions are good. I'm just saying that matriarchal religions exist and women who follow those aren't shooting themselves in the head. It's the men who are.
The only good religions are ones where no one has to shoot themselves.
