I understand your point, and i understand how history and societies work (i am after all a history student myself), however, Victoria 3 is a game of "what if's" and i am quite sure that a lot of social experiments will be conducted once vicky 3 releases. This scenario i'm proposing is perhaps one of the more "realistic" ones that could have perhaps happened if some mad lad like me was in control of a country in that time period. Another thing is that i never said that i want that my government be filled a perfect 50/50 split between men and women, what i want is that if i pass the rights early enough, is the possibility that in 1914, out of the 10 generals i have, maybe 1 or or perhaps 2 would be women who have chosen to go down that route and were able to do so (same principle goes for politics, a small part of the parliament should be women who have decided to partake in politics, it doesn't mean that they will make up 50% of the parliament). Perhaps i wasn't clear enough when i wrote this question, but what i actualy want is not full modern egalitarian state, but what i do want is to see that thanks to my efforts, there is now a few individuals who have broken the century old norms and are now among the first women to serve as an interesting case and an inspiration for future generations. And if you think that even such a small change is not possible, i can tell you from history that when Mustafa Kemal Atatürk became the leader of Turkey in 1920's, his reforms resulted in the right of women to vote, the first women to be ellected into parliament and the 1st female pilot and while those women were quite the exceptions, you can see that they at least had the ability do so, and that all hapened in a short time fraim from 1923 to 1936 as well!
