They say that people who pay the bills should be respected, and the head of the family should have the final say. But they should not take advantage of that and others also should not disrespect them or treat them badly, try to control them in the name of feminism, or fry their brains, because some of them are already under immense stress trying to get food on their plate. And the man also should respect the woman for who they are. So there should be mutual understanding. Some men if say those lines during an argument to a super nagging and controlling wife it does make sense. You never know what she has done to him. But if she is good and respectful in her behavior she doesn't deserve that. Moreover this line "I pay the bills" isn't even relevant in most places as women are also working and earning almost equal and sometimes even more than men. They are nowhere behind.
