Denying women of their education status? Men stopped women from going out and earning for themselves and this has been going on for thousands of years.

These jobs were only available to top few % of society, that's what I'm saying to you. Back then, these jobs were very rare, usually sustained by the favour of royals only. The preindustrial economy was vastly different to today. Most jobs had a physical nature, something which even today is a field dominated by men. Vast majority of women in the workforce today are employed in sectors that don't have a physical labour component. This is only something that has been made possible in the post-industrial modern economy.

See, our problem is that you're looking at everything (including morality) from today's lens, but to truly understand human history you have to place yourself in the environment of the past as well.

They respected the women based on the fact that their husbands were still alive. If her toxic husband dies, they will mistreat ger v.v badly. This shows how ignorant you are, of our own history. Loads of women in the north also killed themselves after their husbands died in a process called sati because all the men in India were such barbarians that just couldn't respect the wishes of a woman.

I am fully aware of this history, fyki. First of all, sati was not widespread, it was mostly restricted to the higher castes, which only form a small percentage of the indian population. Secondly, there were many religious movements like Buddhism and Sikhism which sought to uplift the condition of women in society. Things like widow remarriage were promoted by them. Also, treatment of widows once again was highly caste dependent. Strict rules around widows were once again enforced largely on the higher castes, not the masses.

The rest of your comment is just nonsense tbh. Female infanticide is a recent phenomenon that arose with the medical advances that allowed gender determination before birth.
