Yes evolution is true and yes women were at a much higher risk in primitive time. PRIMITIVE. in a freaking cave, with no cohesive society, with no law enforcement, with no affordable means of self protection and where most things were done based on evolutionary biological instincts.
In Thedas this is clearly not the case. These is some form of governance, people are not living in caves and they have magic, daggers, grenades, etc to protect themselves.
Apologies but I am not going to be a primitive white knight tradcon mangina championing for and justifying double standards. Evolution did make us who we are but we are capable of going above and beyond the chains and baggage of evolution. Its called living in the 21st century. In Dragon Age, its called living in Thedas, a world with magic and daggers.
Deal with it. Get used to it.
Check the statistics of any college campus, big city, or even small towns.
Primitive hasn't gone anywhere.
EDIT: I guess the point is, respectfully, that human nature hasn't changed, and it won't change because we live in the 21st century and not the 14th century. Boys will still be boys, girls will be girls, teenagers will feel like they're on top of the world and everyone but them is wrong about the facts of life. Hormones haven't disappeared by the miraculous passing of time, and pigheadedness is just as prominent today as it was among the time-periods I studied in History.
As Mark Twain satirically said, "At 14, I was lamented how little my parents knew. At 21, I was astonished to find out how much they learned in 7 years."
