Speaking as a husband whose wife once felt this way, I understand why a lot of women think and feel this.
The fact is, there has been several millenia of inequality between the sexes and the feminist movement was necessary to bring women into the political sphere. However, the movement was hijacked.
My wife no longer feels or thinks this because we grew together and learned that it is much more efficient to share an account.
We are not roommates, we are a loving married couple.
Sharing and being a loving pair does not mean you are sacrificing on your independence or self sovereignty. I hate that this has become such a feminist ego landmark that women feel shaken or afronted when this is challenged.
A woman can be strong and still be a partner in a relationship. A woman can still be independent and have autonomy of body, mind, and soul while sharing access to her hard earned money with her family.
As a whole, society should focus on stronger familial ties and love than spreading this "independence" movement. No one lives on this earth completely alone.
We all rely on someone else in one way or another.
"there has been several millenia of inequality between the sexes"
No, there wasn't.
"the feminist movement was necessary to bring women into the political sphere"
No, it wasn't.
If you finished reading what I wrote, you'd see I agreed with you... Look man, theres not much to argue on this, for millenia in civilizationz around the world , outside of royalty/nobility, women could not participate in the political sphere without a pseudonym or without a man championing them.
In the USA, Feminism started in large part for women's right to vote.
Did that movement get hijacked after they recieved the right to vote, sure.
Are there things that have derailed absolutely.
Im all for your ideas of family and gender roles, but we can't just make up history now.
I'm not convinced that bringing women into governance has not significantly contributed to our modern decay.
My position is not common, however.

There has been inequality between sexes though, and there always will be because it's biological

I don't think you maintain full freedom and independence in marriage, either the woman or the man. You trade a portion of your independence for love and security. That is okay, in fact it is good.
