If you are saying peasant men had serious power disparaties over peasant women then you are right, the two are not progressing at the same rate; women have progressed faster.
For modern 'peasants' both work bottom tier jobs at the same wage; minimum. And women have better parental rights, so even if they had started at the same base level women have progressed faster.
I think this feeds into mick's point that fixing class, etc, issues will be a bigger boon to most women that working on gender specific issues.
