"People had to understand those concepts. The entire world as it gets educated is ridding itself of misogyny and racism and caste systems and becoming democratic."

India is the largest democracy on earth, still has caste systems in rural India and probably still practices it to a degree in the cities though not as openly, is arguably one of the most racist democracy's towards its own people and women in India have fewer rights then probably women in many eastern European countries.

Viking women have arguably had more rights then women of other cultures throughout history and back then I don't believe they were democratic societies. I am not sure you can prescribe this enlightenment to simply whether a government is democratic or not.
