People view the past through a limited lens. History is recorded primarily about the official, proper, clear events and legal rulings etc. Feminists are actually right to say that history has a male bias, in that it is biased towards clear black and white, linear, causal chains of events and definite actions. More chaotic and 'feminine' type things don't get recorded, so we tend to view the past as a time when true men ruled and there was harmony and order and iron fisted rule over the subjects and nobody fucked around or did weird or perverted shit, everything was supposedly simple and clear "a time when men were men" etc.
