Why do ancient people always discriminate against women?

Throughout history, in the history of human evolution, due to the underdevelopment of science and technology, a lot of construction work and production work need to be undertaken by labor.

Because women are delicate, pregnant and have children, they have to breastfeed and take care of their children at home, and they are almost bound by their families, so they can't undertake a lot of labor and production work, so men need to undertake it.

Ancient people thought that the value created by women was not as high as that created by men, which is why, no matter which generation in the world, men are superior to women.

To put it bluntly, men have more free time than women, and they can create more value for society, but they ignore the important role of women in the growth of the next generation at home.

In fact, strictly speaking, it is not ignoring, just because men want to show their strength in order to keep women around.

From the perspective of animal instinct, I believe that people who have seen documentaries or the animal world will know some videos of males fighting each other to win the female's heart in estrus in order to obtain mating rights in nature.

In fact, the same is true of human society. Men constantly improve themselves, improve their social status and make themselves stronger, so as to get more women's favor.

This is why in ancient times, upper-class families, especially the royal family, got so many beautiful wives because they showed enough strength, so they could get more high-quality female resources.

The poor civilians can only live on bread and water, be monogamous all their lives, and even some people can't get a wife.

However, because men compete in society, they naturally occupy a leading position, formulate policies and regard women as a symbol of strength.

With this kind of thinking, it is the fundamental reason why ancient people discriminated against women.
