As a general thing, when the woman wears the pants in the family, she has a good right to them.

Summary

This quote suggests that if a woman takes on a dominant or assertive role in a family or relationship, she deserves that position and the authority that comes with it. It implies that gender should not dictate who holds power or makes decisions in a household, but rather the person who showcases strength and capability should take on the role, regardless of their gender.
