What is the best reproductive strategy for equality between the sexes?

Many questions on Worldbuilding have posited different reproductive strategies that often result in the virtual enslavement of females (when there are females involved). On Earth, normal human biology lends itself to patriarchal societies and almost always, the oppression and marginalization of women.

What's the smallest change that can applied now to the human reproduction strategy that will result in the most equality, freedom and flexibility for women? Since human cultural norms are an emergent property of human biology, answers that only address changes to human culture won't work since any cultural changes will be constantly fighting against biology. Only biological changes or technological innovations that improve the equality and freedom of women are in scope for this question. Changes to how sex operates will have huge cultural implications to every single aspect of society. Those cultural changes are out of scope too ('cause they're gonna be huge!).
