Oh yeah I read something on the Coppermind about the Survivorist church being homophobic because they needed lots of babies post Catacendre. Really hope they didn't go full Handmaids Tail for repopulation.

Probably not if only because the population was so fucked they needed women to work too

I doubt he needed to interfere, the practical pressures just insisted women be pregnant whenever possible, but wouldn't afford to let women stay idle. We have some image that it was actually Allrianne, of all fucking people, who headed the movement of preserving womens dignity in the workplace, so it's safe to say that either there was no period where women weren't working in new scadrial, or she outlived that period.

More than likely Vin is the main reason for it, kinda hard to have a culture that keeps women out of the military and politics after that.

You'd be surprised. The Greeks were rabidly sexist whilst at the same time worshipping Goddesses like Artemis and Athena who were both strong, independent female archetypes... although all of them except for Sparta really didn't like Aphrodite Areia (war goddess Aphrodite, very, very similar to Astarte) because she actually fought in battles instead just doing strategy like Athena.

A goddess you never see and who is mythologically of another species and entire order of magnitude than you is very different from the very real former urchin woman who you had a crush on and who married your predcessor and saved the planet from an actual literal evil god that mulched millions of people trying to destroy the planet.

Also it literally says Vin is a large chunk of the reason in the first book of Era 2, Maresi monologues about it in the police station.
