Women are best, and happiest, as the first mate of a ship. Enough power to feel like you have control, but not enough to not be shut down if you are retarded. This is a dynamic that marriage served for basically all of human history. Advisor and helper, not decider, but a crucial and important role nonetheless. A fucking team.

Elevating them to having deciding power and control was always retarded. Teenagers ask for that kind of thing too, and we all know better than to give it to them regardless of how much they whine and fight for it. They, just like women, will instantly do risky things that endanger themselves and others and lack the ability to properly handle and assess the situation when things go wrong.
