[00:24:32] You are really a hen pecked² husband.

习语：a hen-pecked husband
知识点津：hen-pecked表示“受老婆虐待或怕老婆的人”，所以a hen-pecked husband指的是“怕老婆的人”，和中文的“妻管严”类似。
支持范例：
He is a hen-pecked husband and his wife wears the trousers on all the matters.
他是个“妻管严”，家里事无巨细全由老婆说了算。
He never does anything without asking his wife first—he's a completely hen-pecked husband.
他做任何事都要首先请示他老婆—他是个十足的“妻管严”。
Yes, everyone knows he is a hen-pecked husband.
对呀，大家都知道他家有母老虎。
