Of course men were created to be leaders in their families, but not to the exclusion of their female counterparts. You must have missed the memo, Tom, but everyone else here understands that which eludes you. Wise and prudent men, yourself excluded, take benefit in the wisdom, knowledge and experience of their wives. Decent men treat their wives as equals; good men lift their partners up and protect them out of love and respect and they because they are stronger. Real men do not bully their wives and other women.
