A better option is to forcibly stop women from being so retarded.

Neat. How do you propose we accomplish that without the government putting us all in cages? Yes men need to lead women, but the actions required to do so have been almost entirely outlawed. Men no longer hold authority over their women and if they try to exercise any it's called "abusive behavior" and then the state gets involved. We've got entirely swaths of society convinced that telling a woman "no you can't do x" is unconscionable behavior that requires intervention to protect the woman.
