I wholeheartedly agree that men and women should be equal. We should have the same rights, the same pay, the same opportunities, etc etc.
However, in my own relationship I feel most comfortable in a more old fashioned set up. I am happy to stay at home and raise my child. I am happy to be the one to cook and clean and organise the home. I have raised my child, feeding her, bathing her, teaching her, being up with her in the night.
I prefer my partner to go to work, and be less involved in raising our child. I like cooking for him and doing the housewifey things. I like him to be dominant in the bedroom. I like that he is stronger than me. I like that he does the heavy lifting and the typical man jobs. I feel happy and secure in this type of relationship.
He is not abusive, he does not control me, he wholeheartedly supports me in whatever I want to do. He calls himself a feminist and would never stand by and watch a woman being treated as an unequal.
Can you love being a 'housewife' and still be a feminist?

Can you be a feminist, but still prefer the man to be dominant in your own relationship?
