    Except he’s wrong.

    The world has not always been like that. It was the classical Athenians who were insanely sexist(e.g. not allowing women out without a male escort) and their views propagated through to the greek-worshipping Romans, who included it in the Bible, which already had a fair bit of misogyny from the Torah.

    It was one of the reasons Boudicca tried to revolt, was because of the loss of women’s rights the British celts faced under Roman rule
