Sure it does. What do you think the ratio is?

i mean frick the most common marital relationship on TV since the 90s has been the bumbling, stupid, and selfish husband who has to be relentlessly saved by the saintly, intelligent, and selfless wife.

I can't really comment on how common those shows are vs. the reverse because I don't watch them, but if true then I'd say it's just a result of the way things have always been. No doubt these shows are comedies, and it's just inherently funny when the leader or head of household would be absolutely lost without his "supporting cast".

so how do we label a relationship with a dominant female?

Those already have labels.

But yeah, any relationship with a controlling member surely lacks respect to some degree. Did I imply that it's ok if the roles are reversed? I apologize if I did, but it should be obvious which way these things go in the overwhelming majority of cases.
