From 1919 to 2019, many things have changed in the world! People have become bolder, more outspoken, relaxed (in some areas) and less formal (in other areas). Technology tells us what to do and when, and family dynamics are no longer traditional in the sense of, "the man is the head of the household and the woman is the heart of the household."
But what about relationships? It seems that, whether it's a heterosexual relationship or a same-sex relationship, one of the two takes on a more dominant lead role. It's been said that one person is going to love more and rule more no matter what. That notion hasn't seemed to have changed since 1919...or before! Critics say that it's just natural for the man (or the male-dominant) to take the lead in a relationship. No matter how feminist you are or how progressive the world seems to be, men/male-dominants rule.
So, what does that look like?
That means if the male/male-dominant makes a decision on what dogmas to follow, candidates to vote for, what foods will be eaten for dinner, what clothes will be worn by both parties, or how money is spent, that is what will happen.
