Because despite what social media would have you believe, women have not actually been horribly oppressed everywhere for all of history, and have actually enjoyed a place of reverence in western culture for a very long time. Men have been willing to sacrifice everything, even their own lives, to ensure the women they loved had whatever could be provided.
Frankly I’m strongly suspicious that many of these narratives are being pushed by cultures where women are ACTUAL slaves, to try and hide the evidence that it’s even possible to live any other way. “Just look at the disaster which befalls any society where women are given freedom.”

Wow look at Mr. Big Brain here with literally no ability to understand human history.
We’re not living in a fucking shonen manga here you dumbass.
Just because your culture may have a shit history for how they treated women doesn’t mean every other culture was the same.
