Maybe, but one should bear in mind that prior to the last century, 99.999% of people were serfs, and that included both male and female.

Neither could vote, or owned land, or really all that much. That 99.999%, probably add .0009 too, had zero power realistically.

I find it amusing that most people look "to the past", and the point out the hardship of one sex or the other, yet when doing so?

Look at how 'Lords and Ladies' lived, which most certainly they would not have been. You, I, and likely every single person on this forum would be a serf, zero power, zero upward mobility, locked in caste and servitude.
