"Believing in women's equality" and "embracing a woman's right to choose" are ideas that are practically in their infancy, relative to the whole course of human history.
Fun fact here. The very early Christian church was actually radically egalitarian, and as a result found great support among women in the Roman Empire, who were otherwise almost wholly disenfranchised from the fiercely patriarchal social structure of ancient Hellenized Rome. It was a big problem for the early church, and a significant reason why they were so poorly thought of in more respectable segments of the populace.
