I feel like Hinduism is oppressive on women. Am I right ?

First of all I am a Hindu. Although I pray less due to some certain circumstances. Anyways coming to the point. I feel like Hinduism has been harsh on women just like almost every other religion. I feel like ancient practices were written by men are being used to torture women. The best example I can think now is sati. Although I don't think its practiced anymore but the problem is, it's existence.
