Thank you for your post.

I like to look at the notion of female / male equality slightly different. Humans are naturally attracted to things that they want or value or find valuable. In my relationship with my wife for example, I find her extremely valuable in many ways. Many of which I find she is vastly superior to me (eg. abstract thinking).

Reciprocally, I would expect that she is attracted to me partly as well for the ways that I exceed her abilities and that I am superior in (eg. mechanical abilities). And I find that as a couple we are stronger and better than we would be as two separate individuals.

This is precisely because we can leverage each other's unique talents and skills for the fulfillment and betterment of both of us. Which is why in part we are attracted to each other. Alas c'est la vie.
