Are there any historical examples of changing the status of women from this period?

My point is - status of women slowly changed in India every century, so there is at least one instance in the game where it happens. And it happens in a kind of weird reversal - Indian women in 769 have a lot of freedom compared to rest of the world. Then the laws slowly start switching backwards until by 1453 Indian women have as few rights as anywhere else in the world except in certain rare cases.

It's not that weird or a reversal, Europe went through a similar thing where it was "bad" went to "better than bad" and then back to "worse". During the Age of Enlightenment a lot of rhetoric was borrowed from the Classical Greeks to justify their subduing of the fairer sex. If you compare what we know from history between the Classical era and the Medieval it was objectively better for women and empowerment of them were not that big of a deal. When we then reach the 17-18th century we start seeing a lot more revival of the "good old days".

Honestly people on the Internet care more about females being independent rulers than they did during the medieval ages.

Edit: The view of how medieval society worked that the people who are against this feature try to promote is a popular view which was born in the 18th century and forward. It is a historically biased concept of western medieval society and Herodotus, the Father of Lies, would have been proud of its makers.

I don't, and anyone that does is a Nahua hater.
