I was listening to an interview with Steven Erikson and he said that when he set out to write Malazan he wanted to write a fantasy series that wasn't eurocentric and where the sexes were completely equal because both of them could use magic.

Is there any actual reason to assume gender roles would be any different if women could do magic? Honestly I am not that misogynistic but let's be serious men with magic would just team up to btfo the women and make sure any future female mages would be nipped at the bud. Honestly all modern fantasy is cancerous because its just progressives trying to insert their values into mythmaking
