Patriarchy In The Streets, Matriarchy In The Sheets

• Society as a whole favours men and in response to this, some romantic relationships take on a matriarchal nature.
• To compensate for a lack of empowerment in public domains, women may seek control over the men in their lives in order to attain financial, status, and reproductive goals.
• Some husbands effectively become proxies for their wives to interface with the patriarchal world. They engage in capitalism for them by pursuing careers that are not available to them or take too much of a physical toll to do. The proxy actions may be more mundane like driving them around.
