During research for one of my stories I've come across an interesting find: preagricultural women used to have legs as sturdy as long distance athletes today. I'm bringing this up, because too many people accept the notion that what existed for, say, the last two centuries, is what has always been for our species.
Women in their sixties and above were either the ones, who lived in freedom and could burn their bras, opted not to for various reasons, or couldn't (because like my mother, lived under occupation). They made a bold choice then, so it would make sense they had not changed since, if for limitations in physique and healing speed.
Depending on where one lives, the sociocultural factors influencing a young woman's life center around college, a workplace, or a community and the groups they form within. Based on that, their opponents also come from the same community, meaning there's social media to air grievances but that happens on Instagram, Snapchat or Facebook. Once the kids have left the house, or they even moved to a retirement community, the cards get reshuffled, the opponents become random.
