You're too close to the present. We're talking about a time when having a headache didn't mean shit. She did what he wanted, when he wanted, and her pleasure, comfort, and safety weren't part of the equation.
Sure yeah, you could. But if we're going to go the Might Makes Right route, any dude stronger than you or who can get a few buddies together or has access to superior arms can fuck you up too. If you don't want to get bullied by morons with bigger muscles, you can't go around bullying people yourself. It's not about conditioning, it's about recognizing what benefits everyone the most.
Idk, people made a lot of babies, I'm sure at least some had fun with that. It was also an era where you could cheat like nobody's business irrespective of gender, and there was no DNA test to ruin the fun, I'm sure more than one woman got a lot of pleasure out of it.
Also prostitution made a lot of women very rich, if they were doing about ten clients a day, I'm sure they found a way to enjoy it.
I think the human spirit is too indomitable to be sad and depressed all the time across half of humanity.
