I think that is a dynamic that is shifting a little bit. As a Dad, I'm more concerned that my girls be happy than rich. That means they have to like themselves and be, if not self-sufficient, at least able before partnering for life. My own relationship is far more equal than what you're describing. People choose their lives either consciously or by not choosing (insert Rush lyric). There are still girls who want to go the "whore" route and my daughters criticize them to no end, for not controlling their own lives, but living to be attached to some dumb jock at school. I think the best relationships look like partnerships and I've given my girls that expectation.
