I think so. Most of humanity _in civilization_ has been slaves, serfs, or women, mostly with 40 (or less)-year life expectancies, subject to plagues and famines at least once a generation, also endemic war, conquest, enslavement, conscription, rape, chronic disease, death in childbirth, paranoid witch hunts, irrational and cruel social taboos, 50%+ infant mortality, torture and the excesses of arbitrary and essentially unchecked power. Hunter-gatherers probably had a better time of it even if they had a short life expectancy.
