That's...pretty much everywhere until the 20th century, Rozen. Almost every society thought women were less than men until we started protesting about it. And even then it took us years to get anywhere.

Of course, the Vikings knew what they were doing. Women ruled the house, were trained to fight in case of the village being attacked while the men were off raiding other places, and a man could not divorce a woman, though a woman could divorce a man. Any man who wanted to divorce a woman was seen as 'unmanly', as he should be 'man' enough to make her do what he wanted. But a woman could divorce her husband just for showing too much chest in public, if she really wanted to.
