Perhaps this is what I recalled:
As children are very prone to be misled, women are similarly very prone to degradation. Therefore, both children and women require protection by the elder members of the family. By being engaged in various religious practices, women will not be misled into adultery. According to Chanakya Pandit, women are generally not very intelligent and therefore not trustworthy. So the different family traditions of religious activities should always engage them, and thus their chastity and devotion will give birth to a good population eligible for participating in the varnasrama system. On the failure of such varnasrama-dharma, naturally the women become free to act and mix with men, and thus adultery is indulged in at the risk of unwanted population. Irresponsible men also provoke adultery in society, and thus unwanted children flood the human race at the risk of war and pestilence.

Now, in the Manu-samhita it is clearly stated that a woman should not be given freedom. That does not mean that women are to be kept as slaves, but they are like children. The demons have now neglected such injunctions, and they think that women should be given as much freedom as men.

Women as a class are no better than boys, and therefore they have no discriminatory power like that of a man.

A woman’s attachment to her husband may elevate her to the body of a man in her next life, but a mans attachment to woman will degrade him, and in his next life he will get the body of a woman.

As a clarification on my earlier post, equal rights (and responsibilities) seems like a nice thing to have to try to let everyone have equal opportunities but genders on average seem to be built somewhat differently when it comes to temperament and interests.
The science on that seems pretty convincing especially if you've paid any mind to the James Damore memo thing. The paper is said to have referenced plenty good science and researchers and scientists who have commented on it pretty much have said as much.
If you observe people meditatively in detachment and are not sucked in by lust or other ego games you might witness some crazy behaviour. And then it keeps on repeating and occurring and then... well it may be confirmation bias as well.
