Hasn't really happened much, anywhere, in the
past 10,000 years. Seems to be going the other
way again in lots of the world. Kept up with
the new Taliban regulations ? Iran and friends
are a-OK with treading on 'womens rights' too.
Even India - most populous - women are kinda
just 'things' ... the uppity are fair game,
Daddy doesn't pay the dowry and they set fire
to the bride.

Queens, even warrior queens, are not unknown - but
relatively rare. None, not even QE-1, seem to have
"improved things for all women" while they ruled.

Before 10,000 years ago - no records. Very likely
kinda the same. Did come upon a partial list of
laws from the city of Uruk - maybe 4000+ years old -
and even in this first known big city "womens place"
and slavery were already obvious. You DID have to
pay a fine for raping someone else's slave girl
however ...

"If a man proceeded by force, and deflowered the virgin
female slave of another man, that man must pay five
shekels of silver."

I guess buggering slave BOYS was a-ok ....

Basically, women get the most rights/respect/scope
in longstanding 1st-world societies - where things
are generally good enough so men don't feel they
have to keep a steel death-grip on EVERYTHING.

If a man happens to meet a virgin who
is not pledged to be married and rapes
her and they are discovered, he shall
pay her father fifty shekels of silver.
He must marry the young woman, for he has
violated her. He can never divorce her as
long as he lives.

Even in “longstanding 1st-world societies” there is
an epidemic of domestic abuse, mostly of women.

And in Canada the problem of missing and murdered
indigenous girls and women has not yet been
fully solved.
