Prior to that, are you willing to reverse the roles of courtship and be the suitor? Bring him flowers, try your very best to show his friends and family that you are his Ms. Right by watching sports, guy flicks, etc. Are you willing to run to the store and buy him condoms in the middle of the day because he's out? Tolerate his every mood and wait for him for hours to get ready to go out? Tolerate the bullshit of your future in laws with a smile.
If you can tell me yes on all those things, and go through everything a guy goes through courting someone who he wants to spend the rest of his life with then we'll talk about equality. ( by the way, the buying of condoms is an analogy of buying femenine products).
As I said before, I believe in total equality. One partner shouldn't have to take a defined gender role in a relationship. That kind of thing is simply ridiculous societal bullshit that makes no sense whatsoever. Why couldn't the female be the courter? Or why couldn't she bring him flowers? And so on. So, if I wasn't a lesbian, yes I would happily do that stuff for a man, so long as he does some of them in return. Relationships should be give and take... and it doesn't need to be determined by outmoded gender roles.
