being the same in quantity, size, degree, or value.
"add equal amounts of water and flour"
You are misunderstanding this term. This is a term with more than one meaning, as many words do. This one means equal, as in equal amount of stuff to be fair to someone. It plainly explains it here.
noun
1.
a person or thing considered to be the same as another in status or quality.
"we all treat each other as equals"
synonyms: equivalent, peer, fellow, coequal, like; More
The word here is what you are looking for. This means that the person is just as important, or that they matter just as much. It means they have the same worth or value.
Who says I am not important, my husband values my views and appreciates what I do. I never said I am treated like a servant or some form of 2nd class citizen. I do all that I do because I want to, as I mentioned before he would help if I asked but I don't ask. I am proud of my house and like to do things the way I want them done. I am also proud of my husband and want to make him happy. I obey because if we disagree over something and can't find mutual ground there are only 2 choices, to keep fighting and arguing or for one of us to concede the argument and back down. I will choose to be that person as I trust him and love him. In a work place a boss or supervisor will make the final decisions about things, doesn't mean the rest of the workforce are second class or are not important or are not respected. I think men have a greater need to be in control, it's in their competitive nature, probably something to do with testosterone levels. I don't have that need, I get far more satisfaction from making him happy than I do from winning an argument.
IIN to have old fashioned views about male and female roles
