Nope. Despite there have been division of labor and traditions historically, semitic religions - foremost Christianity - are what codified the 'lower status' of women, including how they were beneath men, or even 'sinful and dangerous'. You have no idea how it was during the middle ages until Cathars, despite having been persecuted and massacred, have changed the perception of women to the 'bad' state that we later knew. Before Cathars, it was much worse.

The only religion open and accepting of others at the time. And even women had equal standing before God. Galatians 3:28 “There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.” And that is why the Roman Emperor Constantine, was able to embrace it as Rome’s state religion.
