I said women were oppressed by nature. Harsh conditions and bad sanitation.
If you want to say women were oppressed, then you have to men where even more oppressed.
Barefoot in the kitchen? So oppressed. While the man is out knee deep in shit taking care of the farm.
If you want to say women were forced to marry men, then it is only out of necessity of a harsh environment, where a women couldn't survive alone.
