What I've seen is that always women have the last word in a discussion or decision, even if the man is the provider, the wife always says what to do, what to buy, where to go, etc.
Now the difference is women show off a lot about they do that, because now women work and also provide money to home and family that's why, I think, is now more known women domain their husbands ..
Nowadays it's much more difficult to get married than before, one reason I think it's because men don't want to be providers and even if they want to, they cannot because thanks to the existence of so much worker womens, salaries are cheaper than before.
Other reason is because women don't want to be housewives, taking care of children and cleaning house.
Women and men want freedom of responsibilities they want sex, love, fun, but no commitments.
