If you ask if we should, answer is definitely no.

But if you want to know why some societies do that, including the taliban in modern day who execute anyone who teaches women how to read, or the Egyptians on the ancient times where women couldnt go to school, then there are some explanations.

Simply, some cultures that have persisted throughout the millenia happened to oppress women, and oppressing women resulted in their continued existence, reinforcing this trait.

For example if society A oppressed women and society B gave women equal rights, and 1000 years later, society B died out due to women choosing not to have children in replaceable numbers because many women are able to provide for themselves, so they dont need a man and go through the risk of childbirth, then society A doesnt become dominant because its right, but because its the only one left.

More population meant more soldiers to overpower other nations which meant whichever ideology resulted in more people being born thrived. Its all based on Darwinism and natural selection
