In Greek mythology AMAZONS were a tribe of warrior women. In reality has any culture existed where the man was " the little woman at home"?

She did all the thinking and planning and choosing and demanding and ordering. He did all the obeying and "yes dearing".

Wonder how Middle-Eastern Men, European Men, Other Culture Men would take to THAT way of life?

Asking permission to buy a new frock. Asking for allowance money. Asking for attention. Being obedient and subservient and oh so sweet. Using wiles to get their way. Sneaking clothes into the closet hoping she won't notice.  SIGH. Yeah. I can't see it either.

    There have been/are a few matriarchal societies.  Most were/are in the far east.  From what little I've read, they weren't as domineering as patriarchal societies.

    "Traditionally, the Navajos are a matriarchal society, with descent and inheritance determined through one's mother. Navajo women have traditionally owned the bulk of resources and property, such as livestock. In cases of marital separation, women retained the property and children. In cases of maternal death children were sent to live with their mother's family. Traditional Navajo have a strong sense of family allegiance and obligation."
