Why were men so sexist in the middle ages?
Medieval men were what they were raised to be. They were taught by fathers and they were taught by mothers also. Men and women accepted the ideas that they were given from antiquity without the types of questioning consideration we have seen since the nineteenth century. They believed their attitudes were right and proper and did not see a reason to change. There is a link below to a question about women's rights in the middle ages.
What are the roles of cottars in a medieval village?

How did improvements in trade and commerce affect feudal societies?
The trade helped because of the imports given in the process. it gave needed materials to build structures. It also gave food for the society and economic stores in the process giving a chance for employment as well.
What was the medieval attitude towards equality?
The medieval attitude was that difference in class and status was God-given and part of the natural order of things. The idea that "all men are created equal" was an Enlightenment concept, so an idea that only came about in the late 18th century. It would be another 100 years - and in many places even much longer, think of women's legal and political rights - before the concept of equality really took root.
What was the name given to the groups that protected and set standards for merchants and crafts people in medieval towns?
In Medieval England, tradesmen in the same craft joined a local guild. This guild acted like a modern union in many ways. All tradesmen were required to join their respective guilds. The guilds also provided training for apprentices who were accepted into their programs.
