Subservient rather than minor.

Because the Orlanthi recognize the Husband-protectors but do not view the relationship as one of equals.

The secondary benefits are different. A clan that recognizes Elmal as the Husband-Protector will have different customs and magic from a clan that recognizes Heler or Argan Argar as the HP.

This is as it should be. Giving power to men is bad.
