That's a lot of cherrypicked stats. The survey where people say society looks up to masculine/manly men but not feminine/womanly women likely reflects several things, including people's perceptions of cultural prejudices.

Many surveys show people routinely ascribe to "society" less enlightened beliefs that they don't hold themselves.

There's also some confusion on what "womanly/feminine" means. For many people, these terms are associated with traits related to women's traditional subordinate roles.

When you avoid generalizing terms like "manly/masculine" and "womanly/feminine" and look at beliefs about specific traits, it looks like people tend to ascribe positive traits to women much more than men. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%22Women_are_wonderful%22_effect …

As for the "father should be the master" poll, it's likely that many interpret that as having authority over the children, not the wife. You'd probably get very different results if you changed "father" to "husband."

I can't find it right now but I know that in surveys from the past 30 years or so, only 15-20% of Americans have agreed with statements like "the husband should make the important decisions in a marriage."

95% of Brits disagreed with the statement that wives should always obey their husbands including 61% of Muslims.https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2016/apr/11/british-muslims-strong-sense-of-belonging-poll-homosexuality-sharia-law …
