There's a debate among the rabbis. What were the causes? And I think one of the rabbis says something like, if you don't like her cooking or if she burns herself, there's best grounds for divorce. That's what Jesus is speaking into. It's not to say that it was a paradise for women in the Old Testament either.

The conversation of gender identity seems to have swept into every crevice of our culture. From debating gender “norms” to questioning the concept of biological gender completely, society has demanded to have a say in how men and women should understand themselves and the roles they play.
