26. MrScorpio is correct. Asians, Latinos, and AA families always have a strong woman at the head

who everyone respects, if not fears. Matriarchy is commonplace, and having a woman at the head isn't threatening in the least, but comforting that things are going to be all right.

This isn't the case among White Americans and the White British, although in "white" Europe - outside of the UK - women truly are equal in all ways and it's a matter of respect for the female gender and equal rights. White European women wear the pants in an organized and functional family, and their opinion is valued outside the house as well. She's never dismissed as "just being a woman".

What still amazes me today is that U.S. men actually hold the checkbook in American families and have control of the budget! My husband is astounded by it. He's a pro at using his debit and credit cards, but he couldn't write a check to save his life. lol
