I don't think that was a Greek invention either. I'd imagine men have been telling women that only men get to make the big decisions for as long as language has existed.

The joke of the Bronze Age Mediterranean civilization was that being around girls in any capacity was what made you "gay".

I think there's even some ancient literature making fun of a famous Greek orator for kissing his wife.

In a democracy, everyone has a say! Until the majority decides they don't!
