A lot of it is total BS, such as #7, about the beer and wine drinking. Many people drank Ale as an alternative to water because the water was polluted; both adults and children drank it, and Ale was a thriving home business from the 1100s to the 1400s (I think) run mainly by women. #14 is also totally false, as women could NOT inherit businesses (they could only if their husbands died, and could not pass it on to their non-male kin). They could NEVER buy and sell property (unless they were the in the highest 1%), and as for legal rights, there were few. They even suffered greater fines for lesser crimes such as scolding (causing a public fuss) than men did for assault and robbery.
