Overcorrection (and reaction) from the past when women were considered inferior beings and basically property. It wasn't that long ago. Just one example: women were not allowed to open bank accounts in some places in the US until 1974: https://www.forbes.com/advisor/banking/when-could-women-open-a-bank-account/ https://www.forbes.com/advisor/banking/when-could-women-open... One of my rules for understanding human society is that "everything always overcorrects." We tend to overcorrect one way, then overcorrect the other way, and so on. It's a bit like if you have a spring under tension and let go of it. It does not snap back to the center. It oscillates for a while.
