Women have more options than men - i.e., they learn from an early age how to 
get their way without having to use force.  There's also "psychological 
force," at which women are very adept.

As well, women have been known to "borrow" men's force/power for their own 
benefit (damsel in distress tied to the railroad track yells "help" to 
summons aid, expecting hero to risk his own life to help her out of her 
(latest) dilemma; uneducated buxom blonde actress marries rich old - 
practically dead - man, and as widow receives compensation when he dies).

... and men let them get away with it.  Where's the outrage? (there's some 
out there, but not enough, IMO)
