No. Don’t make it so easy for them. Structural sexism occurs in authoritarian systems. It’s one of the tools to keep the privileged in power.

It’s not that the society was just generally sexist (of course they had even more defined gender roles and so), it’s that the sexism was actively thought and embraced by those in power! Thus, fiction like the bible also was actively made sexist, to have further “prove” to keep that power dynamic. It was not written that way because “well, back in the days”. It was written like that to oppress people!
