Not only is he to meet her needs financially, but emotionally and physically too. Folks can do it the way they see fit, but this is how I was raised to be, and I'm not going to adapt to what it has turned into. I don't think women are inferior to men, she is his equal. In fact, if I had a daughter I would make sure she's educated so she wouldn't have to depend on a man, or anybody for that matter, but at the same time, if she were to marry, he'd better make sure he's meeting her needs financially, emotionally, and physically, otherwise he's got to go. I don't care if she's making double what he's making, he's still the provider. That's one thing I cannot stand is a lame, lazy azz man.

Instead of being passive aggressive, I guess I'll respond directly.
I don't bite on the "meeting her needs finanically, emotionally, and physically." Obviously emotional and physical needs should be met by one's partner, regardless of husband or wife status. It's the financial part that really sticks in my craw.
If I make $400,000.00 per year, are my "financial needs" the same as any other woman's? If yes, then I call bullshit. That's not equality. I should be meeting my husband's financial needs just as much as he meets my own.
