"When a woman has sex with someone other than her husband and he doesn't object, anthropologists have traditionally called it wife loaning. When a man does it, they call it male privilege."

I call it "scrubbing women's agency from history."

Doesn't that kind of support the idea that women are viewed as an object to be "loaned" by men?

Looks like they're reaching a little. Of course, I don't know the context of the statement. They could be talking about a culture like early ancient Rome, which let women have agency in everything but non-local political affairs, or they could be talking about pre-feudal China, which didn't.
