What about when people joke about women "wearing the trousers" in the relationship? . But again it doesn't necessarily mean she's dominating her partner all the time.

Unless its a weird unhealthy relationship where both parties are bullying each other ,then that's an issue . otherwise these things like "wearing the trousers" & "head of the house" are just words .

They did used to be much more than words back in the day.

I agree the decisions are more 50/50 these days (rightly so).
