basic Historian's fallacy, socioeconomics dinamics were a little bit different that we comprend. Most of drowries, bride prices, etc... were in most cases capital for the sustainment of the wife as she couldnt work as (much) men due to intensive child-rearing, not existing job opportunities, social obligations, etc... .
most of "feminism" qualms came from upperclass enviroments of the early 20th century, and those are a limited worldview of gender dynamics. For example, poorer women didnt have the limitation to work as burgeuosie women declared,(as the social dogma shamed men who needed to make their wife to work) they couldnt afford to live on a single meager salary
