The eldest man in the household?

Yes, male heads of house or tribe (or any human organisation, really).

Men who carry responsibility for the well-being of others. Men who exhibit self-sacrifice.

Aristotel's lesson on nobility explains why it has to be men.

TL;DR

Men are more noble, women are more precious.

You don't put women at the front of the battle.
