men govern but women rule
Definition:  usually, men claim that they have powers to control, meanwhile the women are the ones in charge
Usage:  Peter and I agreed that we would leave the club after 23:00, but immediately after receiving a call from his wife, he left without saying a goodbye; now I understand what they mean when they say, ‘men govern but women rule’
