Species that have larger and stronger males, such as humans, always have the males being the dominant sex. For your examples, bees and most spiders have larger females than males. And lionesses are very much not the dominant member, as males always lead a pride, and the females are usually gives roles of caring and hunting. Noble and crucial roles, yes, but still the submissive roles. Also, males are equally good parents and hunters, they just simply don't do them as often because that is not their role.

Humans have the freedom to choose their roles and tastes, especially in the modern world, and that's great. But the fact of nature doesn't change. It's no coincidence that the "ideal" male is tall and strong, prepared to defend the household and family. And the "ideal" woman is petite, submissive, and who feeds and nutures for the family.

You may not want that for yourself, and the flexibility of humans makes that possible and okay. But that's really a minority feeling.
