This post as been removed as a 'throughout history' trivia-type question which is not permitted in /r/AskHistorians per the rules. Do consider re-posting if there is a particular region/culture and/or time period of interest. Also, it would be helpful to clarify what is being referred to by "misogyny" (patriarchy, domestic violence, other?); examples could provide potential respondents with a point of reference.

Lastly, you might consider posting the question in /r/AskAnthropology
