Voting rights. For much of history nobody had them. They were based on property ownership. The transition to citizens right to vote happened for both genders at about the same and often in a single piece of legislation.

A patriarchy

That the current usage of the words man and men mean male was considered a default or more important gender. Some evolution of the English language.

Wilfman, Wilfmen Today we use the words woman and women.

Werman, Wermen. Used to refer to adult males. There is no equivalent in the English language today. When referring to adult males we use the gender neutral words man and men. These are gender neutral statements. "All men are created equal" "To boldly go where no man has gone before."

Girl: Was a gender neutral word for a child. Now used for female children only and often used to encourage adult females. "you go girl"

Boy: Was a word to refer to a servant or slave. Now refers to male children and a demeaning term when directed at adult males.
