The correct answer is:

Women should allow men to make the decisions in a family.

Thomas Aquinas stated that women were subject to man because, in the male, reason prevails as he is more disposed to intellectual operation. In addition to this, he said that female inferiority lies in both bodily force and intellect, and that feminine intellectual inferiority really provides order and beauty to the universe.
