Fair but even if the men today were in charge of marrying their daughters and selecting the men for the daughter, there's nothing to say the men won't just do what the daughter wants and wait until she's 39 and fucked around in college etc...
There's more at play. When women were banned from working for example and couldn't earn an income, there was incentive to marry them off younger and putting them through college would be pointless. I'd argue you'd find more success to the outcome you seek by banning women from being able to earn an income rather than by only allowing the father the deciding factor in who a woman marries.
Allowing women to choose who and when to marry led to this.
How do you figure?
That allowed them to have time to get indoctrinated or otherwise into trouble before they had their first kid which tends to make them less crazy.
