I agree, embrace tradition. But first, many people need to deprogram and learn what that tradition actually is. This myth that European women lived some sort of imprisoned existence where they only birthed and raised children, behaved like servants and did nothing outside of their household is feminist propaganda designed to set Feminists up as saviors of womenkind. Case in point, **women did compete in the Olympic games in Ancient Greece**. Some notable examples, Euryleonis of Sparta won the Olympic chariot race in 368 bce. Cynisca of Sparta won multiple victories at the Olympics in 396 and 392 bce, mainly racing, only to have her records broken by another woman, Berenice II of Alexandria. Those named and other female participants of the ancient Olympic games are recorded alongside men in the victor lists, on statues, in mosaics, epigrams, inscribed in vases, discussed on letters etc. Women also participated in other major games like Nemean and Isthmian. They didn't compete in all the same areas as men though to be fair. Not because their time was thought better dedicated to childbearing, but mainly because they didn't want to (Plato and other male philosophers discuss this at length. ) In addition to races, chariot racing, musicial and poetic contests, there were also women-orientated competitions such as weaving, beauty contests, chastity contests, household management and carding that were part of these and other games. Women in ancient Greece often lived separate lives to the men, but they had lives. They weren't all sitting at home popping out babies. There were plenty of wealthy and influential women who left their mark. Even more so for Roman women, who were highly educated, especially in mathametics, and operated businesses, as business management was seen as something women did (it was considered part of household management). Add to that the fact Roman women were tax-exempt because tax responsibility was attached to voting right, and their legal rights were strongly protected by the patriarchal system, and you get an extremely influential and wealthy section of society with very active lives. Women had their own clubs, organisations, cults, even their own curia, there were many female philosophers especially in the Pythagorean tradition, there were female playwrights and poets, female physicians and for a period there were female lawyers (until some very annoying chick got them all banned toward the end of the Republic). Women were top political campaign contributors with the power to sway elections, major philanthropists paying to have major architectural works built for the enjoyment of all, they funded restoration projects, organised charities... I'm tired of European history being perverted. Learn European heritage.
