Wouldn't equality be the both of us working? I didn't expect him to support me financially and he shouldn't expect me to do the same from him. Equality is the both of us pulling our weight, not wife doing all of the working, cooking and cleaning.
I probably forgot to include in my own post that just because a woman stays home and the man works doesn't mean they aren't equal. Each family has to have it's own sense of balance, and you just have to have a feel for where you belong in your own situation. No two families are alike, nor should they be.
I was talking in a broad sense, not your particular case. Women can choose to be housewives or work. Men don't have the option to stay at home without heavily being ostracised for "lazy bum".
If you weren't talking about me then how does this post even belong here?
The fact is, he IS a lazy bum. He doesn't do housework and I worked his job for 10 years before I got medical discharge, he doesn't do shit there either but at least he brings home a paycheck. Without it, I don't know how he is going to fund his bullshit and I'll be damned if I am going to have to cut expenses so he can keep his precious little sports car and thirst for new technology every time one comes out.
First of all, not EVERY female is a feminist... Just making sure you knew that. :/
Second... I know PLENTY of women who support their husbands financially and otherwise. Their relationships almost always tend to be highly dysfunctional. In fact, my mother works a full time job as a nurse (bringing all the bacons home) while my step-dad sits around on his ass. Their relationship can go from awkward to non-existent to bubbly to *rageface* in a span of ten minutes time.
Families who have a more "old-school" set up, where the wife stays home and "tends" the house and the husband "maintains" it, tend to be more stable. From what I've seen, anyway.
My husband and I both work full-time minimum wage jobs, his in the day, mine at night. We're dysfunctional, but we make it work. I do the laundry, dishes, vacuuming, sweeping and all that good nonsense. He fixes things constantly, works on the cars, earns extra side income when he can, mows the lawn, takes out the trash, etc, etc. We like how we do things, and neither one of us would trade places with the other for a minute! xD
My husband does not want to work!!

Why is it that women NEVER want to support men financially? Is that the equality feminists talk about?

This is not entirely true. Each family has their own way of cooperating and functioning, with no "right" way of doing things.

Um, I beg to differ.

I like you. You speak the truth.
