What were Roman attitudes towards women and children when the twelve tables were written?

Romans had bad attitude toward children and women. They treated them unfairly and as if they were property and you can see these examples in the twelve tables. Women and children were not treated correctly during the Roman times.

In the twelve tables they would use the pronoun he which meant they were sexist and put men before women. To the Romans women were not people they were property. Women did not gain respect and they were treated as the husband's daughter not as an adult. Women are not allowed to cry at a funeral.

Children were not even treated as humans. The Romans thought that children's lives were not sacred because if a child was deformed they would then be put to death.They would also sell their children which is not fair is not fair to the children.
