Worldview matters and the Judeo-Christian Ethics created Romance and Chivalry and put women on a pedestal where they chose their own husbands. Gave them power and men had to work and grovel and show respect to win their hand—show competence.

I would amend the above from "...they chose their own husbands" to ""...they chose their own husbands from the subset of candidates acceptable to Father". Disaster follows when teenage girls are allowed unlimited discretion to couple with whatever loser comes along.

“Disaster follows when teenage girls are allowed unlimited discretion to couple with whatever loser comes along.”

That is a very unpopular truth.
