![]() | Feminists have long complained about women's low social status in the society. Some activists stated that women are deprived of the equal opportunities to their opposite sex. However, it is very common that in most families, it is women who have the final say. In my hometown, women make the final decision in the majority of homes. Certainly, in my family,when facing controversial family issues, it is my mom who have the final say. It is the case in my family in China. How about your family? How about the families in US , UK, Australia, Canada, Singapore , Bangladesh, and others. Should women or men have the final say in the family? |

![]() | Yes, in most Chinese families women have the final say. The men are called hen-pecked husband. Women are good at dealing with family chores and men must take the responsibility to raise the whole family. In my opinion, both the husband and the wife should consult with each other and then make the decision. That is the best. |

![]() | In family, we also need democracy. Does a family have to need a dictator who has the final say no matter whether his/her decision is right or wrong? The two parties should the power of "having the final say". |

![]() | I notice that in a Chinese family, whether it is in China or South Eas Asia, the woman has the final say regarding family affair. The man is only involve in affairs regarding business or "external affair". I notice that the Koreans are very similar. This has been the norm for a very long time. |

![]() | You are right, Teknomed. Personally I prefer this. Women are more careful than men. They are more suitable to deal with family affairs. For men, they are the support of the family. That is why they are always dealing with business and external affairs. |
