Laugh your way to the bank with my reply to Reegar, folks.
Here is probably the most concise explanations of the difference between the roles of men and women. I can't tell you how often I've thought I'd prefer to switch places. Men are to preside in love and righteousness, hence they are given the priesthood. Women are to provide love and stability in the home. Yet, families make things work in their own individual ways, and as probably nearly any married man here knows, the "head of the household" is simply a figurehead behind the real leader ;)
Anyhow, I don't know if this answers the question well, but that horrible link Jaitea provided is probably the best start to that answer.
