Back in the day, men were thought to be much smarter and more capable than women. This was later proved very incorrect. That is why men had more rights than women - man's popular belief outweighed the actual truth at the time.

There were also religious reasons. They believed that women were created by God for men and that women were only extensions of men. So women's rights came through the men in their lives. While that was never really an ideal situation, sometimes that was a particularly bad arrangement. The marriages were prearranged, there was no love, and the men were cruel.
Women (used to) prefer men killing others, rather than women killing others. So men had the right to go to war. Women (used to) prefer men to do (physical labor) work. So men went out to plow the fields, while women educated the kiddies. Etc.

Historically, males have dominated most cultures and have both actively and passively participated in creating frameworks that provided benefits to their gender. Even though the archaic days of hunters and gatherers have crumbled, the sociological effects that rose from males dominant physical capabilities (on average) remain.
