 There have been powerful women throughout the ages and there are now even within authoritarian states that likely yield significant power. 

For example, Kim Yo Jong, sister of North Korean leader, is on the nation’s top ruling body.

For the West and in recent times, it was about universal suffrage and the idea that everyone should have a say.

The fact feminism is still around today does raise questions. Equal opportunity already has been obtained so what is the fuss about now unless it is for equal outcomes, which is in effect communism. 
 See?

Stella and I gave you example of virtuous women who, through their own greatness, saved their loved men's souls.
You have brought the atheist Korean dictator's sister who is a product of her brother.

Your mind has strange models of greatness.

That is the result of your corrupted education. Degeneracy is greatness to you. 
 The point was that women in all societies achieve great power, but that does not necessarily extend to all women.

It is only in recent history where the common women has achieved equal treatment under the law, the vote. 
 Again, you are referring to great power as authority level and material goods ownership.

A Catholic model of family was the model for the plebeians as much as for the royalty. Any family member would seek to be each other's support and the Catholic women, to this day in our contemporaneity, go out of their way for their husbands and children.

What worth is a woman whose authority os used to crush others and fulfill her own degeneracy?

Your view of power is distorted.

A woman in her family taking care of the house has been the greatest and best power all plebeians and royalty women ever held. And only they could and still can do that. 
 Having the vote shouldn’t affect that, or is there a reason you think it does?
