Study: Women Are in Charge at Home
Men might throw their weight around at the office, but at home, women are the bosses.

A study, which was just released, finds that wives have more power than their husbands in making decisions and dominating discussions.

"The study at least suggests that the marriage is a place where women can exert some power," said lead author David Vogel, a psychologist at Iowa State University (ISU). "Whether or not it's because of changing societal roles, we don't know.”

1. Maybe it's because women are tired of being treated as slaves
and rightfully so NO MAN should ever think he is above a woman and tell her to be quiet and walk behind him like the bible commands.

15. I Never Treat My Wife That Way
She retired young, 'cuz she wanted to.

The living room looks like it does, 'cuz she wants it that way.

She drives the car she wanted.

We're getting a new kitty cat 'cuz she wants another one.

And so on, and so on, and so on.

She runs the joint.

6. Was this ever really a question?
Whoever did the prior research must have been clueless dumbasses. Typical males I suppose! ;)

I've long maintained that women run the world--they just don't realize it.
