I support gender equality but doesn’t the fact that women have been oppressed throughout history suggests they are the weaker sex?

As a woman myself, I am not saying this to offend any woman.
I am only objectively trying to analyze why women have always been the” victim “ of oppression and suffering across the globe.
I mean doesn’t the fact that we had/ have to fight so hard for our rights from east to west indicate that we have less influence than men or that it’s a man’s world?

Please comment objectively

It's a good question. My thinking is that it comes down to physicality. We're animals. Historically it was males who hunted and females who took care of the "home." There's a power balance that came to be which allowed men to draft the 'rules.' There have been matriarchal societies throughout history, and some still exist, but as humans started to migrate they were generally communities run by men. And when more organized religions were created, it was men who decided who the gods were and the rules of behavior.
