I think we live in a society today where there are both extremes: one side with the douche bag who condescends the woman and makes her his trophy wife and another side where the girl is treated like a princess...where the guy spoils and provides for his woman because of society's expectation of a man owing something to and respecting his woman simply for being a woman. Women don't have an expectation to treat her man this way and provide for him... This can ultimately be condescending or give girls a huge advantage. While providing for your women stems from a past oppression, today it has less to do with oppression and more to do with expectation.
It ultimately depends on the guy a girl chooses and how she decides to carry herself. A lot of feminism lies in the hands of girls themselves and how they approach things instead of men like people make it seem

Tumblr gets heated over the smallest of things, making up new types of oppression and social warrior terms to debate on the daily.
