Women rule men from when they are born in most case. Unless they grow up motherless but even than the most important figures that will surround the child are usually females (teachers, granmas, nurses, nannies).

It's only when a boy becomes a young man he usually gets more males surrounding him. And in puberty he again finds out he's weakened and dependent on women. (unless they're gay)

Even god himself was therefore ruled by a women at some point as he teaches us we are in his image. Therefore he was conceived.

Of course it's the weakness of men that made men write such idiocy in books like the bible. For they cannot control what they desire the most because their hearts are outside of their control span.
It's a very transparent way that makes it easy for men to claim superiority for everyone knows women are in fact (unwanted) controlling men thus superior.
It's because THEY (men) allow themselves to be controlled.

History is full of corrupted men that sold their kingdoms for some fast sex. I believe we all remember the latest affair around a man cheating on his wife being a pawn of the other woman.

So to come to conclusions, nature itself answers your question OP. It is women that rule man, it's everywhere around you and only a stubborn man that is in denial will not admit the above words.
