Study Shows Women Call the Shots at Home
According to a Pew study, 43 percent of men don’t have final say in any major household decisions. What about your household?
A study shows women may have more control over their relationship than they think.
According to a study conducted by the Pew Research Center, a surprising 43 percent of men don’t have the final say in any of the major household decisions tested.
The survey asked questions about who makes decisions in four areas: household finances, weekend activities, large home purchases and television viewing.
According to the survey, only a quarter of men make decisions in more areas than their female partner. In 31 percent of the relationships, the pair split decision-making responsibilities equally.
How does your household compare? Tell us who makes more decisions in your household in the four areas.
- Who decides what you do together on the weekend?
- Who manages the household finances?
- Who makes the decisions on big purchases for the home?
- And who most often decides what to watch on TV?
Thanks. We'll email you the next time we update this story.

If you folks haven't noticed after 75,000 years of human history...there is only one thing on the mind of men: sex. What's on women's mind? ...Everything else. You want to run the family and spend money on the things you want to spend money on? In other words, you want to be in charge? Well then BASICALLY you control the creatures you call "men" with your ability to say yes or no to sex. Women are the gate keepers of that particular activity. We ALL know this. Why is this article just now giving us the news? Women control men and have done so for eons. We're either too naive or politically correct to say what most of us know to be true.
Olga...tell us something we DON'T know...
How about why women to this day complains about this being a "man's world" and how they keep claiming to be "subjugated" by men, when we all know it's mens desire for sex is why we get up in morning, and go do a job we don't like doing? Bringing home a paycheck Day in and day out?
Now THAT'S a story I'd like to see...
