In Salem players create the society. No need to impose historical restrictions on that.

Ahah. If Salem were 100% accurate it would be boring.

Then before adding gender-based issues, let's add:
-Native Americans (so we can wipe them out with blankets)
-Religious persecutions (we can have a whole bunch of different religions, Jeovah Witnesses, Mormons, Calvins, etc...)

-Taxes (grow exponentially until we....)
-Revolt (so we can enjoy our...)
- Slaves. Because my humor is so black it's picking cotton (sarcasm intended).

As long as those things are not in game then the setting isn't even 10% accurate.

Gender issues existed before any of those problems.

Sure but they were of lesser concerns than those I cited.
