Since women either head or control the majority of homes in America, I'd say we are living in a matriarchal society.

Women pretty much call the shots in most households in America.

According to Brides Magazine, that bulwark of social research, (馃槀) not even half yet.

@Mamapolo2016 Are they also counting Te households where the fathers are absent? And how do they determine that the household is headed by a woman or man? Just because someone is the breadwinner doesn't necessarily make that person the decision maker.

@TruthHurts I would guess it鈥檚 taken from census figures of some sort - I can鈥檛 see Bride Mag contacting every home in America. If the father is absent, then the woman would be head of household.

As far as who calls the shots is concerned, it鈥檚 not always the woman, in my experience. Ideally, it should be joint management.
