Switzerland is hyper reactionary in many ways. Since basically everything of note has to be approved via referendum, men prevented women from having many basic rights until very recently.

For example, women officially gained gender equality in marriage in 1985 after a narrowly-won referendum abolished the legal authority of the husband. Prior to that, husbands could actually prevent their wives from getting a job and opening a bank account. Furthermore, up until 1992, Swiss women lost their nationality when they married a foreigner. Switzerland didn’t criminalize domestic violence until the 1990s, either.
