Bare with me if my information is incorrect, but you get the idea

In Biblical times, the Roman Senate? considered followers of Christ 'evil' and heretics. They were all men of course, because women were not allowed in politics. So many were killed in the name of Rome. Tales of undead vampires were spread throughout Europe making many people scared and the actions of certain historical figures did not help.(Vlad Tepish, Elizabeth Bathory) Plus in early American settlements, many young women were killed because they were believed to be evil Satan worshiping witches trying to pretend to be innocent. And Juries that condemned them were usually all men, and not always unbiased.
Many types of lifestyles today would be considered evil if society as a whole still believed what they did in the past. But the human brain continued to evolve and slowly over the centuries what humans teach the next generation as far as what is good behavior and bad behavior changed, though much has remained the same. We are still taught that harming another person is wrong and taking what doesn't belong to us is wrong. Only a few other exceptions come to mind..Miltary combat training and Law Enforcement where killing is usually very last resort.
I think if you look over the history of the humans, women are at the very core, the less dominant gender. Consider that most governments were formed by men, most wars were started by men in power. And women could not vote anywhere until very recently. And there still has not been a female president. So I think at the very core of society, there is a difference between males and females.
