I agree in principle with the notion that women can't expect equality in the workplace and at the same time expect to be placed on a pedestal when it comes to dating and romantic relationships. However, you said that, "if you expect support and love from your man you need to also give it." Perhaps some women expect men to show support and love in an economic fashion, and plan to reciprocate in other ways?

Men and women are equals, but they are not necessarily the same.
