Women in Othello are:
Desdemona- Othello's wife
Emilia- Iago's wife and Desdemona's companion
Bianca- loves Cassio
He says that they have their own mind and think freely as they wish.
The same way I would describe any other Othello. Othello is still Othello no matter what clothes you put him in.
Shakespeare's Othello is essentially a tragedy
As the "ideal" wife: she submits to Othello as opposed to the other women who are quite strong characters. Therefore her supposed infidelity is even more painful for Othello to believe and for the audience to witness the catastrophic events which follow this.
Othello was first set in Venice, than in Cyprus when Othello was sent to fight the Turks.
He says that they have their own mind and think freely as they wish.
That they were hungry lovers and never satisfied. This makes Othello feel more isolated due to his naivety. Hence the quotation: 'The cunning whore of Venice/ That married Othello.' Once Othello has fallen for Iago's manipulations he describes Desdemona as a 'cunning whore' and links her lack of fidelity to her origin. Deriving from the sexuality of Venetian women, he goes on to describe himself in the third person. In doing so Othello distances himself from the marital bond which he made. He wants escapism and distance from the innocent women, whom he is convinced has betrayed him, just like her Father. As Brabantio says: 'She has deceived me and may thee'. This foreshadowing and ominous warning is believed by Othello and he is inclined to believe she has been unfaithful. However Shakespeare's ironic cruelty becomes evident as in fact Desdemona is innocent and falsely accused.

Like in much of history, women were fragile and seen as property. Their place was in the house or tending to the children. They were not supposed to be doing activities that made them look manly.
