That is to say, it's more of a style trope without much content than anything else.<br /><br />Does anyone believe that, say, women should need their husbands' signature to have a bank account any more?

I think the idea quite sinister actually.<br /><br />This is Daily Mail conservatism dressed up in progressive clothing, wanting your cake and eating it.
