Has disdain for Mary (in certain circles) as a reaction to Catholics affected society’s perception of women?

Yes.
Women were treated much better in Catholic countries in Medieval and post-Medieval Europe than they were in Protestant countries.

Are there examples, or are these things possibly just timeline coincedences?Yes.

Yes. Look at contemporary society, for example. The virtues of the Blessed Mother–the feminine virtues–are SCORNED in today’s “contemporary” woman–the kind who is EXACTLY like a man because she can ‘do’ anything he can do but is even better because she had to struggle against male ‘supremacy’ so long.
So of COURSE women had to jettison those patriarchical virtues of obedience, humility, faith, charity, etc. How could they SUCCEED in a “man’s world” with baggage like that?
The more contemporary people disdain the Blessed Mother, trivialize her role in salvation history, and deride her virtues (above all, look how MOTHERHOOD has become so twisted that mothers ABORT THEIR CHILDREN today!!), the worse the perception of women is–because that perception is so untrue as to the REAL nature and being of woman.

Interesting. Very interesting.So of COURSE women had to jettison those patriarchical virtues of obedience, humility, faith, charity, etc. How could they SUCCEED in a “man’s world” with baggage like that?
Are you saying that SOME women suppress their womanhood, thinking that what’s left makes them more capable of imitating men?
That by throwing the yoke of womanhood or any appearance of womanhood onto the scrapheap, they end up being less of a person?
And that similarly, by throwing the Mother of God on the scrapheap, Christendom has suffered?

I would say so because look at the predominately Catholic countries in the world today. Not exactly pillars of womens rights and cultural equality.Are there examples, or are these things possibly just timeline coincedences?
What Exactly do you view as the REAL nature and being of Woman?The more contemporary people disdain the Blessed Mother, trivialize her role in salvation history, and deride her virtues (above all, look how MOTHERHOOD has become so twisted that mothers ABORT THEIR CHILDREN today!!), the worse the perception of women is–because that perception is so untrue as to the REAL nature and being of woman.

Polaris,
Speaking as a man, I state categorically that there is nothing in life that I will accomplish that even approaches in importance the raising of my children. Women have a similar job, but in addition have the even more important role of bearing the children to begin with. The feminist movement has spent the last generation trying to get women to abandon this most important job in favor of less important positions in charge of government, industry, academia, and so forth. Next to raising a family, “women’s rights and cultural equality” fade into nothingness.
My wife was part of the generation of women who realized that they had been cheated of the most fulfilling part of their lives by the feminist movement. Remember Connie Chung!

Which countries would you say are the best concerning womens rights and cultural equality?
