It's a two-way street. The man is the head of the marriage relationship, but he is not to domineer over his wife; rather, he is to encourage and protect her. And the wife is to submit to her husband, not as one who is subservient but as one who supports, like a pillar supports a bridge (note that in this analogy, the bridge can not stand without the pillar!).
This is based on Biblical principle.
You say things have moved on since Paul's day, and indeed they have. That explains why family and marriage in modern culture is so screwed up, because God's commands on the matter have been ignored.
