Wow! I am stunned that a man who I assume is reasonably or better so, educated, can possibly NOT see what I am saying.
Equality does not mean we want to be treated like one of your blokey mates. We have gone past the stage where we wish to have only ONE option....to marry and stay home and make it all nice for a husband who was the head of the household and the only one allowed to have paid work.
Bless my dear father, who would be 90 if he were still here. When most girls left home earlier than boys as 'education is wasted on them as they will only marry and raise children'....he insisted that all his daughters were also well-educated as he felt that even if we chose to marry and have children (not compulsory in my family) the girls would be the ones to help the kids with homework etc. and had to have a reasonable education.
Dad worshipped the ground my mother walked on. They had a great marriage and raised 9 good citizens all with good careers. None of these children has an antiquated view of relationships. The women are treated with the utmost respect and expect little less. The men are pleased the women are doing what they wish in life...as well as contributing to the mortgage.
Who wants to marry a helpless female, with little education or ideas of her own? Who wants to be one? Who wants to have inequality in their relationship? That boat sailed a LONG time ago.
Being a lady does NOT mean we are not committed to our relationships and families. There is no double standard. A man treats me as a lady and I treat him as a gentleman. Simple.
