It's always the patriarchal conquerors like the Ancient Romans or the Ancient Greeks that they idolize and never the people like, say, the Picts or the Celts or the Gaul that rebelled against the brutal Roman empire. It's never the Scottish or the Irish heroes who fought back against the British Empire that followed in Rome's footsteps. None of them probably even know who Boudica is.

Ironically, a lot of the stuff you could call "white culture" was burnt at the stake, banned, brutalized, and literally demonized by the Empires that chuds think are so civilized. A lot of pagan culture was lost to time, or warped by Roman 'scholars' for propaganda purposes. If they truly cared about their 'culture', then "Muh Christian trad wife' would be seen as killing the identity of pagan women, rather than an aspiration.

All their rulers were men. Their women were allowed to read and attend banquets, but were not equal in power.

my bad, I was paraphrasing from stuff I read years ago

still, they were more equal than in Roman society

Depends on the period tbh. The were more equal than the early romans, but women in the late Republic on ward could own some property. Either way better than the Greeks by a mile.
