Frequently, I see that when husbands are closer to the aisle than their wives, they step back and let their wives go first when it's time to enqueue to receive Communion. Why? To keep an eye on them, or feminism (letting wives be the head/leader of the family, drive the car, etc.)?

Regarding driving the car, I think that depends on how emotional vs. rational the woman is. Not all women are unhinged balls of emotion, which is what propagates the true but unflattering horrible female driver meme. Emotional control, or Reason being firmly in the drivers seat, is crucial to being a good driver or pilot. I'm sorry if you've had limited experience, or where your travels have taken you, but exceptions do exist. Maybe even several % of the total female population, which only proves the rule that female drivers are awful, generally speaking.
Also, is it inherently true that the driver is above the one driven? What about chauffeurs?

If you sit on the outside of the pew you let the inside Pew sitters go first so they get back in first...

It’s called chivalry and being a gentlemen, something that was, for the most part, lost by the X generation and the generations that followed.
Perhaps it's a good thing it was lost, as today it just seems to fuel feminist pride.

My wife and I rarely attend the same Mass on Sundays. When we do, I will usually follow her to the altar rail.
