The verse talk about family life. There are many reasons for the higher decree to men. In most places, where woman has power, the place are ruined especially if they have higher power in family. I have seen many families being ruined because of higher power for women. However, it doesn't mean men can oppress or hurt women. There are strict rules regarding this.
How can you not realize how backward and ignorant your views are here? But this is one of the biggest problems with Islam with its institutionalized sexism that treats women as second class citizens so that's why its ok to rape or beat them to death. There's no logic in it other than trying to pathetically justify your beliefs. To say where women have power families are ruined is ridiculous. Most of the time, in most cultures or countries, it's usually the fathers that end up screwing up the families Islam included.
