What sort of Men's Rights Activism is this? Women often used to manage household funds on top of managing the housework which, by the way, was much, much more time consuming before the invention of time saving appliances. With the advent of shift work, men would often be given the money and have to disburse it to the wife, and the wife would have to hope there was enough to manage the household after the husband took what he wanted.
I don't know why you have so many downvotes... This is an accurate description of a common domestic relationship for many poor families throughout history.
It even accurately describes part of my childhood in the late 80s, although it was only the two of us kids. Our step-arsehole would get home late with whatever money was left after getting drunk, fall asleep on the carpet and piss himself.
