I think women are equal to men.  That was obviously not what they thought in ancient civilizations.  It is stated that god designed the world to be male dominant.  I dont fully agree with this though.  If he really wanted it to be fully male dominant why did he create females in the first place?  With his godly powers he could have made a way for a male to get other males pregnant but he didn’t.  So I think god wanted males to be superior but not be fully dominant.  I do see how such a low opinion of women started though.  Back then alot of the jobs were farming and building and jobs that needed heavy lifting.  Since womens naturally smaller stature they probably couldn’t do the heavy lifting to do those jobs.  Gilgamesh is positive towards women.  When Enkidu who is living with wild beasts is seduced by temple prostitute Shamhat he is changed.  He ends up becoming great friends with Gilgamesh who is a King.  Instead of women screwing it up they actually helped.  This text views women positively because many of the gods in Sumer were goddesses.  They were definitely well viewed in Sumer.  They could own property and run businesses so i think that is why this story is positive towards women.
