What is this insistence on people of whatever time thinking that women in the previous time were completely and utterly oppressed in every conceivable way? They did it in the 1950s. They did it in the Edwardian Era. In the Victorian Era. And so on back to the High Middle Ages at least, and probably before that. Is it a way of telling women "it could be worse, you could have been born 100 years ago, now shut up"? Is it a way of having their Grimdark fantasies about women being raped all over the place while still tsk-ing at how backward those people were back then? WHHYYYYYY.
