I think its really that when we started out as creatures on this earth, men did have the "power" we had the strength, we had the ability to bring home food and keep our family safe. As time went on, we no longer had to hunt, but we had to be the bread winners, so of course if we are in charge of the money we are in charge of the household right?
In charge of the household means everyone in the household, wife, kids, etc. are beholden to the man! (in theory). I think its going to take a few more generations until we start to see a true shift away from men having this societal pressure or societal knowledge that we are in charge. Now I say few more generations, that might be alot, but its a thing where people can change themselves, thats easier, but to make society change, thats a much larger move.
Not saying any of this is right or the way it should be, but I see why society pushes men in the direction it does. It needs to change.
