The scripture is saying that as heirs we all get to be glorified like Christ, yet, the mormons have now inadvertently(?) excluded their women from glorification in order to use it to justify becoming a god.

You've hit a key point, and one of the many logical/theological flaws in mormonism. Paul writes

Gal 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.

Temple ceremonies - it is the husband who calls the wife to godhood - he is her only way to the third kingdom.

Women are also Kings and Priests in Christ (Rev 1:6). Since it is a man-made religion, it is flawed and judging from its period of polygamy doubly so.

And the husband who calls the wife out of the grave...or not...

Heber C Kimball, a member of the First Presidency, had forty-five wives, but he claimed that in the resurrection he would be able to have thousands:

Supposing that I have a wife or a dozen of them, and she should say, “You cannot be exalted without me,” and suppose they all should say so, what of that? ... Suppose that I lose the whole of them before I go into the spirit world, but that I have been a good, faithful man ... do you think
I will be destitute there. No, the Lord says there are more there than there are here ... there are millions of them, ... we will go to brother Joseph and say, “Here we are brother Joseph; we are here ourselves are we not, with none of the property we possessed in our probationary state, not even the rings on our fingers?” He will say to us, “Come along, my boys, we will give you a good suit of clothes. Where are your wives?” “They are back yonder; they would not follow us.” “Never mind,” says Joseph, “Here are thousands, have all you want” (Journal of Discourses, vol. 4, p.209).
