I'll leave it to Sean to defend his attitude or not as he chooses. Chauvinism from anyone can be irritating, I'll admit, but imho, this sort of rhetoric really ramps up the hostility in a forum and is particularly inappropriate coming from a moderator. But hey, it's your world, I'm just lurking in it.
I understand what you're saying, and there is some validity to it, but I think you may be underestimating the social evolution that has transpired since the go-forth-and-multiply days.
And you are seriously wrong about the social standing thing -- a man's earning power no doubt contributes to a couple's social standing, but it's the woman who manages that game the best, dear.
So you're already married, and to a GG? If so, why are you yanking chains here?

BTW, "dominate" is a verb, "dominant" is the adjective I think you and others were looking for.
