The duty of a woman is to keep the family hearth, to give birth and raise children and, of course, to be faithful to her husband. In general, everything that a woman received - money, or even just bread - she received from the hands of the breadwinner, the head of the family. Now the situation has changed dramatically, everyone, or almost everyone, will agree with this, and now even a woman can earn and provide for herself and her children. Hence the question arises, who is in charge of the family now?

In the past, the moral authority of a man as the head of the family was based on the economic side of the relationship, which directly affects all other relationships in marriage. And this was spelled out in the family legal norms and was fixed by law. That is, the law was turned to face the man in the family and back to the woman.

It is possible that we feel sorry for women in families who lived their lives according to patriarchal laws, the laws of dependence on men, where the husband was unconditionally the head of the family. But we are trying on our psychology in vain to those times, our psychology is invalid there.
