Why all cultures in history discriminated women? Every single

Discriminated or protected? A pedestal is not actually confining, especially when it was ractually dangerous to go outside. Additionally, women have historically ridiculous power inside the home. In ages when the household was an economic center, the lead woman can fire and hire people/slaves/servants/serfs at will, not the man. This power still carries over today in eastern societies though eroded by the realities of industrialization

There were certainly societies that had different gender mores than other ones. The Byzantines were much less patriarchal than the Romans had been-- the basilea was exalted to a much higher importance than the wife of a Caesar ever was, and even in some respects played important roles. See Theodora I having a mural of her and Justinian side by side in Ravenna instead of being subordinate to him in the art, and Belisarius' whore wife bossing him around.

What a cuck he was.

The Arab, Persian, and Italian travelers I read about visiting the Byzantine empire said they gave women too much freedom and the men would be cucked constantly

They said the same about the Crusader kingdoms. There is a 12th century account of an Arab traveller where he manifests his horror that not only a knight's wife was allowed to go out alone, but also could talk with other men. What barbarism, he said. On civilized places, women are locked away at home and when they had to leave, they could only do so completely covered up and accompanied by a male guardian.
