The way I see it, if the man has to submit to the woman by being the first to take the initiatve and speak to her (ask her out), get on his knees and proposing to the woman, has to be the assertive one, he has to pay for wedding ring, he pays most of the rent and for the car, he is usually the breadwinner, he pays for the dates and dinners and shopping sprees, is it only *fair* to at least let the man be the leader of the household? Do certain women find that notion to be demeaning?
It amazes me how *some* women can be selfish, by expecting the man to do all of these things, but find it "demeaning" for the man to be THE MAN of the relationship (i.e., lead the household). Some women don't even want to take the last name of a man after marriage these days, despite all of these sacrifices he makes towards her. Any other proposed "sacrifices" and submissions towards him she has to make doesn't exist -- as that's when she claims it should be "equal".
