Roman women felt with their fingers just as everyone else. Okay, that's my contribution to fun. Seriously though, its difficult to give you an exact answer as ancient culture was very different from ours. Most women felt that home and family were the most important aspects of their lives. They were not allowed to vote or hold public office and most of them didn't want to anyhow, as that would make them seem masculine or unfeminine. The ancient Romans (and all other ancient societies) had well defined roles for both men and women.

Rome, along with most ancient societies, were patriarchal. Why this is so is probably due to anthropological antecedents. Since men did not bear children, they were free to go outside the home to hunt or trade, or plow, or herd; and ultimately to run governments. Since the women had to stay home to nurse and teach the children, their ability to take place in the marketplace of ideas was limited.

Because they had to follow all of the orders of their fathers and their family leader (oldest male).
