It was an example of something in a time wherein women could take advantage of a case of female priviledge over their male counterparts that was not available the other way 'round.
Is that a case of taking advantage, though? You're talking as though it was a conscious choice that women were making, when in reality the choice was made by men, on behalf of patriarchal ideas that feminism had no part in forming, and actively fight against.
You can't really fault women for taking part in a system they've only relatively recently had the power to change.
