Because of some freakish perversion of logic, women were (and sometimes still are) considered weak, less intelligent, less brave - in just about every way, except reproducing the species, the inferior to men.

I suggest that this concept was grasped by 'church fathers' at some point in european history and to consolidate their wealth and power, it became church doctrine.
