You missed my primary point. Just as a King ruling his national subjects is the natural state of affairs, so too a husband ruling his wife is the natural state of affairs. Aside from it being written explicitly in the Torah itself, and expanded upon by the meforshim, it is common sense.
(Feminism of course has dulled contemporary society’s common sense though, and even people mostly unaffected by feminism onslaught against society, tend to feel after affects of the degeneration it has wrought, and even they fall prey to some or many of feminisms subtle and overt messages of “equality.”)
