re: #3 Eclectic Cyborg

Was the concept of consent even present in these Ancient cultures?

LOL no. Women were property, so inventing stories about a stranger telling a woman that she’s going to get pregnant because a deity arbitrarily decided she should be would have been the exact kind of nonsense they’d go with to keep women in line.

They would also reinforce this sexist garbage by having “her” rant and rave about how wonderful it all is. You can’t have your property deciding she’s got rights, after all. Gotta get her to submit to whatever an imaginary God and all the men around her want for her.
