It's not quite like that anymore
Well, the short answer is that "that's how it used to be" in Western society until just very recently.
Fact is it's really not like that anymore, but there are still differences between how men and women are treated.
Societal differences and differing expectations will always exist, but we're seeing much more equality as far as basic "rights" between men and women.
And people of different skin colors and sexual orientation as well for that matter. We're all evolving as a society, albeit not as fast as we'd like to see sometimes. :-)
