I'm with Perfect_Order on this one. Men are the heads of their households because there's wisdom behind it. But this doesn't mean a total dictatorship either, its encouraged for spouses to cooperate and seek each other's advices on matters concerning their families. The Prophet (saw) sought the advice of his wives, specially Khadija (ra) on almost everything. But the final decision was his to make.
The Qur'an says: "...you are like 2 garments...." Meaning 1 needs the other 1 to function.

CCL yes I can, if we don't see a state as a big family where the leader cares for us like our father would care for his family then there goes the stability of the state.
There is no such thing as equals in anything one is above the other, and each has its own responsibilities that's a true partnership, I suspect that
you have an inferior complex.

Yes of course, if her brain is not developed enough for her to use her own judgement she would be more susceptible to influence. In this case you controlling her to suit your own selfish needs is child abuse because that is what she is, a child.
Ignoring the child abusers, how likely is it for a man to be able to "control" his wife? Especially today with most women being able to provide for themselves?
elder status = respect and more control of the situation over said younger status
you like math, its a simple equation

No one said you couldn't just as long as you take in to consideration of what your husband would like and whats best for your family over what you may desire at that moment.
and if he is not thinking the same than why are you with him?

Husband iiska dhaafe I bet a boyfriend would control your ass.
ps. Control is down to personality women are generally more passive then males so they tend to avoid confrontation and go with the flow.

Simply there are more women then men on this planet. So men are always a winner. Life is not fair, but damn someone gotta live it.
