Education, background, and experience will determine who is 'better' with money. Men vs. Women has nothing to do with it.
I expect my wife to take care of her own finances. I run the family finances and the larger bills, and am the gatekeeper of larger financial decisions. However, my background, education, and experience are in finance. To be clear, however, my wife and I have separate accounts, separate bills, etc., and I expect her to take care of her expenses, be frugal in purchases, and to notify me of any potential purchases that could affect the family budget (which I control) and of any potential problems. Frankly, the idea of having sole responsibility for the family money would drive me up the wall. The concept of giving my wife an 'allowance' is just so foreign, that I cannot fathom it. At the end of the day, I want a partner who can handle their own responsibilies and not have to be their financial baby sitter.
