Shiva's 'curse' on Parvati is only a narrative embellishment - to make the story interesting and riveting. It is not about Man Vs Woman.
Parvati's penance (in all cases) is representative of the Jeevatma (human soul) attempting to attain the Paramatma. The jeevatma here is represented by Parvati and Shiva is the Paramatma. When the human soul tries to become with the Infinite (which is ultimately the goal for every soul), the process has to be flawless, perfect and complete. If there is a slightest falter, the whole process has to begin once again.
To take an example from the serial itself- when Shiva got angry because Parvati fell asleep while he was imparting the Tantra Vidya gyan, it showed the inadequacy of the human soul which was still not capable of being transformed into the highest level. Hence the process had to start once again.
It is not really about man- dominating - woman. That would make the whole philosophy behind these stories very shallow.
