Oppressed throughout all of human history?

Do you know why they sent children into the coal mines in Europe? Because there was a bitchfest about Women's Rights and how women shouldn't be "forced" to work in the mines like some base worthless male life, THEY had value unlike those, ugh, men. Which meant that their prior jobs, needing smaller frames than men, went to male youths, children.

For hundreds of years, if not more, they've lived as a privileged class.
