I think this goes back to male supremacy doctrines. Females were not even recorded in ancient biblical writings, Jesus in the New Testament did openly converse with a woman in public. This was not allowed in those times. Women were not allowed in the marketplace alone......women were treated as property and still are in some cultures.
