respect of women is ancient tradition.
Respect of women tended to be higher among peoples who believed in reincarnation, due to the notion that anyone could be reborn as a woman. And "what goes around comes around"!
Lions and tigress went extinct long ago around Caucasus mountain chains. lots of hard of bulls and cows were fighting for survivability against lions and tigers there.
I have no suspect about equal rights among a man and a woman in the Atlantis kingdoms (haplogroup X1). Of course it connected to the roots, to the haplogroup X, before the global flood boundary 24500 years ago

Are the Caucasus referred to as "Iberia" in Georgian? You seem to use those two place-names interchangeably.
