In almost every society in history women had it far easier than men. They lived longer, ate better, didnt have to fight and war etc.

'sept in industrial England.

See, We English realized that their small hands and little frames were well suited to the claustrophobic conditions and tight passageways of a sub-surface coal mine.

And the only thing better than women are orphans; they're just like children but the're free!

Not being able to get an education, not being able to vote, not being able to work the same jobs (inb4 hurr they can't work the same jobs as men), raping women wasn't really a big deal in a lot of places, women getting beaten by their husbands was a normal thing, women not being taken seriously. Yeah I don't get this meme either.

The rape definitely wasn't as consistent as the killing of men who were actually fighting, often against their will

Listen up mate, history was shit for EVERYOBODY.

For the majority of men, in the majority of societies, they were treated the exact same as women unless they were elites.

Elite men had all the power and shared some power with their wives, daughters and friends. Yes elite women werent as free as elite men, but this was a very small subset of society. In general terms, most men and women had the same circumstances. The key difference for the common folk being that men had to work much more physically demanding jobs and fight and die in wars.

John Green had it right when he mentioned that the simple formula 2+2 describes a lot about the human mind. If you consider for a second the relative inhospitability of the universe it gets closer to realizing that supreme self Nietzsche called the "Ubermensch".

Women in history had there share of hardships and so did men. Are you really trying to imply that not being able to speak first at dinner was as bad as dying in war?

Also why does it matter that the wars were caused by men? It was different times, war was the way scores were settled. Were women who made it into power notably more peacuful than men in those times? War is not a male specific construction whatsoever.

>>6478993
Literally everyone would rather work in the house and raise their children. The only reason men did those jobs is because someone had to do them and men were best equipped.

History would beg to differ. Most wars were caused by men and were led by men.

Yeah that's why it's called history. Not sure what your point is.

Lol yeah because there were so many. Men have always been in power therefor decisions have always been made that benefit men and not women.
