It went way beyond that
Women have liberalized the culture more than any other facet since then especially they diverged from their husbands vote in the 50s
They especially fell for the homosexuals and obviously feminism
In a harsher environment like the 1700s and 1800s I can sure see why women should have had less power
Their power grew out of urbanization
I don’t women in general tolerate stress same as men etc
It never was men keeping women down but rather protecting and having them where it worked best for the culture and family
Women thrown to their own unless rich had a rough time
It’s still that way to a degree contrary to conventional wisdom
I believe women tolerate stress better than men.
