It is not entirely clear what you mean. In a comment you clarified that main means first move, but that doesn't correspond well to the image, so I will take it more broadly. There are some stereotypes coming from biology. For evolutionary reasons, men are stronger, women are wired to appreciate that and want to experience that strength. This leads to women on average wanting to be a bit more submissive. That average then forms the societal consensus and some people object to the impact the consensus has, without being able to reject the preference individual men and women have. So there will probably always be the tendency to want to have men as dominant in some ways. When it comes to making the first move, that is mostly tradition, but there is imho absolutely no reason to just stand around and wait for a man to approach you or ask you to do something. Women were always the one in charge of relationships and making sure things move forward is entirely valid. I prefer to have either equal or submissive partner and I want to be the one to decide most of the time, but I still like the idea of the woman making a move, both at the beginning and later on. And also, a minority of men will be willing to flip the entire dynamic between the sexes on its head to an extent. Not to be completely submissive, but to interpret their position of the manly and strong person in the relationship as a loyal knight of a queen. She points the finger and he does what is asked of him to protect her and do all the heavy lifting for her. That allows to put the woman on a pedestal and make her the leader, without undermining the traditional roles completely. There is nothing in biology or evolution that completely contradicts that idea. Even my quiet and submissive ex used to be the one to constantly make demands and ask for help, all that would be needed is an official agreement that that is in fact the expected way of doing things and establish her as the one who has final word in case of disagreement. Your choice how you negotiate this with men.
Usually, in nature, the biggest and strongest males lead the pack. When a female is ready to have kids, she gives them a signal so that the strongest males will compete against with each other. When it comes to packs and herds, with a few exceptions, males take the lead and defend their territory
@grega239 it is the main reason are you dumb? yes there is toxic women that think having a kid with a man will make them stay but don’t you dare try to blame women for that. Because proof is in the pudding. Who always get stuck raising the kids by themselves? Women do! There’s no large amount of single fathers period.
Because in the distant past, it was men who did this 97% of the time. Only 3% of females may have done this or did so against their will. NOW, it is literally 50/50 while slight calling in between. Now women today have no remorse for these behaviors because men have sadly always done it, and barely got caught. Men used to have the ability to take on other wives (which would have been polygamous relationships today married/unmarried), so what is happening is that once feminism hit, everything changed. It is men who haven't changed. Women began changing. So men were indeed the problem, and in a way they that promote these behaviors still are. It is just that women have become detrimental to themselves by allowing these behaviors by dating these men, and not holding these men accountable both in and out of marriage. Like nobody has any morals. Do I have to tell a 30+ woman what she needs to do if her boyfriend is acting up? Really? PEOPLE do not need to be dating if they do not have strong morals, principles, and standards. If anybody does anything in that picture, I have news for you people: You have no morals.
I think what you mean is why society views women as the desired as opposed to the one who desires.
And despite what all those liberal sociologists say, it has nothing to do with society but human nature. Women are less visual than men when it comes to physical attraction and women don’t have as much testosterone as men do.
And yes that picture is indeed funny because it looks unnatural. The guy is probably helping her by holding himself up because he’s too heavy for her to carry by herself.
Men are naturally driven to take risks, women tend to naturally be more cautious and reserved. That's just how it is.
This makes sense because it's usually men making the first move, and women carefully choosing a mate... among other obvious things we see and hear on a daily basis.
Because people for more than millennia thought that men are just better than women. So they had no rights, are over-emotional, had no right to have opinions that people would agree on, it said that they were weaker than men, cannot lead, etc. History, societies, communities, and people of today made it this way.
Because I don’t know but that is a funny picture and I think we should see more of women dominating relationships or whatever it is you’re trying to get at

Isn't it a common thing that women like it when their partner takes the lead? In a biological perspective it kinda makes sense since those who possess good leadership qualities tend to have greater access to resources.

Probably because women don't want to be the "main" one? Just take a look how many GAG blues would love it if the woman would do the first move.
