ORIGINAL: myotherself Anecdotally, I can say that I have observed when intelligent, responsible people make the decision as to who will lead the household, then the relationship and family will be happy and successful. I have seen very successful male-led households and very successful female-led households. I have also seen totally fucked-up households led by both genders. It's not about whether you have a dick or not, it's about who is best for the job. i agree with this. i don't believe men are, by default, more suited to leading a household. i don't believe many people at all are effectively suited for leadership roles in any capacity, but saying that men are more suited, by default, just by virtue of being "men" and nebulous, indefinable "wiring" -- that ignores a lot of other variables that DO matter. these ideals about men as leaders generally stem from a collection of misconceptions, misinformation, and stereotypes about genders and gender differences. MasterJaguar will probably say something about PMS and emotional issues that affect female leadership (which, if you've ever experienced good female leadership, you know that that is not true), and a variety of other stereotypical colloquialisms to justify this belief, even though it makes no sense in reality.
