The feminist historical narrative is an historical narrative widely believed by feminists and others. The feminist historical narrative is so pervasive that even many non-feminists buy in to it. It is largely built of lies, half-truths and oversimplifications.
Ancient Matriarchy
From the 1970s to the 1990s many feminists believed in an ancient matriarchy. This has been widely debunked and even most feminists now realise it never happened.
Oppression
Examples include:
Misogyny
Medieval Europe regarded women as morally superior men. This carries over to the modern day.
Patriarchy
In the West children inherit their father's name because the society was historically patrilineal not patriarchal.
The feminist claim that Patriarchy hurts men too is an oxymoron. Any Patriarchy that did not benefit men would be dysfunctional. This claim is just a response to MRAs and others successfully raising men's issues.
Suffrage
In general nations that became independent during the 20th or 21st centuries granted universal suffrage to men and women at the same time. In nations that became independent before the 20th century men typically led women by a few years or decades in obtaining suffrage. Even a few decades should be seen as a short period of time given that human political thought has been developing for at least 5000 years.
Wealth and Power
Historically wealthy and powerful women have been common.
