Lookout it's a case of changing cultural bias - the women weren't inferior but if they were up against a man the fact he did have a penis gave him a better chance.

We haven't had universal suffrage in this country for even a century yet - it takes time to change things. In fact if there had ever been a referendum on the subject we probably wouldn't have it yet.

And do remember that Star Trek (that ancient historical document) was ahead of its time with its mixed race crew. It's not all that long ago you know.
