You were sitting in your own house, watching people running out the window from the rain.
In the distance, you saw Benjamin, the son of the local watchmaker, a friend of your father, dancing in the rain without any worries.
You had no right to leave the house to join the man. As you live in the Middle Ages, your life is obviously not a sea of flowers to smell.
You lived in a small village, commanded by the Father. No woman was allowed to leave the house unless her father allowed the act. Women stayed at home taking care of chores, while men did all the heavy work.
In short, women as a whole were seen as misfortunes because of Eve, who ate the forbidden fruit and forced Adam to eat the fruit too, that's what the Priest told everyone in the village.
They were forced to follow the rules of older men. Be it your parents or your siblings; they had no option. They were punished and caught by the Priest if they did the opposite.
They were also forced by their father, at the age of 20, to marry men they had no relationship with and did not know. They submitted themselves to sleeping with people they didn't even know and, often, had never even seen.
Benjamin stared at you from afar, ignoring the drops of water that fell on his face, clothes and hair.
