I found this map that compares domestic abuse against women in Europe, and I noticed that most of the lower countries (Spain, Ireland, Austria, and Poland) tend to be Catholic (or had a history where Catholicism played an important role). In contrast, the Protestant Northern European countries tend to have higher rates of violence against women (so much for feminist utopias). Keep in mind before you bring up "underreporting" this is from an anonymous survey that consistently asks the same specific questions such as throwing objects and other acts to limit disparity and vagueness.

I also remember how Mary is treated as a very important saint along with other important, powerful female figures (Queen Isabel, St. Brigid, and the like). Also, the same countries I listed tend to have the lowest witch hunt rates during the 17th century, and in Spain, especially, children bear both the surnames of the mother and father, whereas in Anglo society, the father is the sole family name.
