No.
That myth was created to give validity to the idea that Jesus was the son of God. Had nothing to do at all with women and legal/social reform.
Incidentally, the Jesus resurrection myth was lifted from the Egyptian resurrection myth of Isis/Set/Osiris. Religions have a habit of borrowing older myths and making them their own.
