And of course it was cultural, but the culture had to be educated to give rights to women.

Historically, there have been matriarchal societies in cultures without educational systems or intellectual proclivities.

<<<< culture had to be educated to give rights to women.>>>>

Well you are very wrong here. Iceland and Norway gave rights to women in a court proceeding they called the Thing. Not sure exactly when they first started this but maybe around 1000. You could get educated about it online I'm sure. They had no schools of course back then.
