Probably. It's about the only real good thing that World War One achieved, in that it forced society to take various issues related to gender inequality seriously.
Before then, famously, women weren't even allowed the right to vote in the UK, presumably because those "innate biological differences" were simply too big to justify giving women the right to vote. I mention this not to be frivolous (well, not entirely) but because even then many people -- and, more to the point, quite a few women -- argued against women getting the right to vote, on the grounds that, among other things, "the spheres of men and women, owing to natural causes, are essentially different...", or because "The admission to full political power of a number of voters debarred by nature and circumstances from the average political knowledge and experience open to men, would weaken the central governing forces of the State..."
I wonder how compelling these arguments sound to modern ears; and, conversely, how easily they could slot in to some of the posts in here without affecting their tone.
