I am not promoting violence but well with human history we have kind of treated women like shit. Today they get beaten or put in their place. Or kids are used for child solders and such and will carry out gang shootings. Seems like if movies are to reflect a portion of reality in movies it would reflect that. Or am I wrong?
So in short the church.
In the early medieval period there was this rather long ongoing time of nights raping and pillaging and the church was not very happy with that. It was not very jesus-like. So they invented chivalry and made a whole bunch of fairy tales up where women and children are always prioritized as that is the honorable thing a good knight or gentlemen would do
In practice, this had limited success. However, the principal caught on and became more and more ingrained into society over the next 800 years.
Keep in mind a night was basically a walking tank.
