I know women used to pick fruits etc. But as I said, considering those times, women's work was not considered important. Things like defending against wild animals or other attacks or lifting heavy wood, stones and hunting down other animals for food etc. became to be considered more important.
This is the root cause why women were exchanged like property. Heredity, property, ownership etc. are causes, but they come later. Basic discrimination against women stems from their lack of physical strength and their limited function in ancient times.
Back then humans were like animals only. In lions, the lioness hunts for food. But the male lion is incharge of the family and male lion even overpowers the lioness or kills her if enraged. Aggressive behaviour of the male over female is seen in animals also.
But people have labelled it as some law of nature forgetting that humans are not animals at all and in humans not everything is governed by physical strength and brute force.
Scriptures have many positives about them, no denying about it. All I am saying they should not be taken totally at face value or some divine word.
And people claiming to follow scriptures are hypocrites! They follow even religion selectively!
