Thank you, Muriel, very kind comment - Mike :)
agree Richard Boulter : I like 'aloof' very much. It implies 'indifference' as well as the 'foreign' factor also suggested. I like Robert's emotionally-charged 'indifferent and onerous' too, but I think that it's a higher register of language than the Query's source text.

historically alien to and obstructive of claims for women's rights

I assume that it is badly written in Spanish! and that it omits "a" after "ajeno". Otherwise I can't make decent sense of "ajeno" here. I think it should read "ajeno a la reivindicación ... y obstaculizador de la reivindicación ...".
