23:24 I'm calling bullshit on that...
Back when divorce wasn't an option, women were financially enslaved by men. End of story. There was no 'going deeper' and reaching common ground. Women had to live in situations with their owner, and they had to put up with whatever abuse or other foul behavior was thrown their way because the system made sure that women couldn't survive without men in those days. Once you got married and started a family, you were completely fucked.
If you really think men were negotiating with their wives, you're naive. A slave owner doesn't negotiate with the slave.
