"Thus, in comparing earlier times with the contemporary world, we have to contrast the improvement of female emancipation with the rise of libertinism. The two are connected. Do we want to go back to a "duena society",

No I don't want to go back to anything. Nor do I want to go forward with a notion that "liberty" requires me to go along with every thing "libertinism" advocates in the name of modernization. My idea of Liberty is that I have no such obligation. I am free to make my associations with cultures or sub-cultures that you would label oppressive because of how you view the role of women and others would label only as traditional. What ever the trade offs are, they are not that women receive better treatment from the men in our society. Any comparison ends up being apples and oranges ('cept for the kind Joe makes, which are fiction)
