Over 2000 years ago people used parts of The Bible to read into it that women were "weaker" and that man was to take care of them. This concept extended to the society in general and women were seen as weaker. During the middle ages the Church taught that people were born in sin and since woman bore children they were seen as sinful. This carried over into the art and other things in the society As societies changed and grew the discrimination was more established in the society.
