I wonder how many other times in the past women have been misrepresented.

Past? How about present?

Past? How about present?

Words out of my mouth.

Always, except when they were said to be "trouble for men", hahahahahaha

I know we're still being misrepresented, but I think we should clean up the past too.

That women in the past have been represented as "mere chattels" is part and parcel to our modern presumption that women are an "oppressed class."

And, of course, that men are everywhere "oppressors."

No, aliens are oppressors, the women are aliens as well. This is as per the history and civilization of Mars.

I wonder how many other times in the past women have been misrepresented.

Pleas study "Ancient Egyptians Civilization" to see that woman was taken full rights ... Queen .... top roller ...

Women have held positions of power in almost every autocratic society. The place where they seem to have the greatest difficulty being entrusted with authority is in democracies where women have to overcome the prejudices of "the people."
