You still frequently hear it from the morons regarding how “inferior” women are.
Um no, all of antiquity was patriarchal ultimately. Some were simply less dickish.
I have yet to find one religion in antiquity where the HEAD GOD, was female. Plenty of polytheism had female deities sure, but all the ones I have found so far, the vast majority even with female deities still have a male top god.
Again, even with Buddhism's mythology, sure they talk about Queen Maya, but what is she used for? Her womb only. Even in that mythology the birth canal is avoided and considered dirty, and his mythology has him being born out of her side. And what for? Not so he could glorify her, but so he could glorify himself as the cure to humanity's ills.
