Why does the writer of Proverbs pick on wives? (Proverbs 21:9)

9 Better to live on a corner of the roof
    than share a house with a quarrelsome wife.
19 Better to live in a desert
    than with a quarrelsome and nagging wife.

Compare Proverbs 25:24

24 Better to live on a corner of the roof
    than share a house with a quarrelsome wife.
	
And Proverbs 27:15-17

15 A quarrelsome wife is like the dripping
    of a leaky roof in a rainstorm;
16 restraining her is like restraining the wind
    or grasping oil with the hand.
17 As iron sharpens iron,
    so one person sharpens another.

Also, Proverbs 11:22

22 Like a gold ring in a pig’s snout
    is a beautiful woman who shows no discretion.

And Proverbs 12:4

4 A wife of noble character is her husband’s crown,
    but a disgraceful wife is like decay in his bones.

Proverbs 21:9

ESV - ⁹ It is better to live in a corner of the housetop than in a house shared with a quarrelsome wife.
