Why in traditional times were men supposed to give their seats up on public transport for women?

Back in days where men worked and women didn’t. Why should a man whose working not be able to sit down when there is women who never worked? I don’t mean a woman whose pregnant. That I understand.

But if men are working all day long…. Shouldn’t women be giving their seats up for men?
