there's research recently that shows roman women were better than some had previously thought and that a lot of the whining is more of a response to that than we've maybe realised

Roman women were (COMPARATIVELY) pretty empowered. They had far more property rights than Greek women, and some wealthy Greek women couldn't leave the house period.

there's a lot of religious similarities between all PIE peoples but Romans valued different gods for different purposes over the Greeks

It started with the concept of Astroboy, heavily borrowing from Disney (Mickey Mouse / Steamboat Willie in particular), from there it's evolved into the modern travesty we see before us, with notable exceptions.
