Same in UK. A few friends of mine are bachelors, and they socialise a lot in a big town. They've given up on women because they can't find any who take, take, take. It doesn't matter how rich and successful you are, how tall, handsome, well dressed, well groomed, well travelled, well socialised, how good you are with children, it means nothing. You still get used.

Thinking back to my relatives here in rural UK, my uncles would be something like a caretaker, forestry man, water engineer, drive a road sweeper, that sort of thing. They might live in a modest house in a small town or in the countryside. The wife would be a SAHM, stay at home all the time to raise them, then send the kids to school (they might walk in those days), then if she had a job, she'd work in a newsagent or small shop. She'd leave ready to meet the kids from school if not walk to meet them. Same with the other families they knew. She'd then prepare the meals, and do the cleaning and laundry. He'd get home sometime before 6 to a hot meal. Those were solid marriages with no divorces or infidelity.
Today, she's expected to hold down a full time job on top of trying to get young kids to school, picking them up, and if they get ill, she has to take time off. I've worked with married women who struggle to do all this and they have to call in all sorts of favours from their parents or even neighbours to help out. It's a mess they have to spend so much energy managing.

When I bothered to have relationships or affairs way back in the mists of time, I didn't mind having control over most of what went on. I'd never close off the woman completely, but she understood her role was for me to provide that masculine leadership for most of the time and in most circumstances. It didn't burden me to do it, and I didn't regard her as a passive object that was dragging around. I could trust her to be capable and competent on aspects of her life, but when she was with me, she trusted me to be able to make the decisions and the leadership. It was the same in various jobs I'd had at the time, and since, where my bosses would have to delegate responsibility to me and they'd allow me to have a huge amount of agency to Get Things Done, which I did. And I'd have various staff under me whom I'd delegate tasks to or they were others who knew they had to do whatever I told them.
But these days, women flag out refuse to allow the man to lead. I can only think of three marriages of couples under 60 where the man leads. In all the others, he's that passive guy she's dragging around, not because he doesn't or didn't know how to, it's because the woman flat out refuses to relinquish any power, as it means patriarchal oppression, she's his slave etc etc.
