Feminism is the better side. Misandry is what involves the hatred of men...period. 
I've never dated anyone with the concept in mind of how things like this would work.
I can say that only one of the women I dated was in favor having children. I do tend to be more attracted to women who are not terribly eager to have lots of kids. I would be okay with none or some but its a case by case basis.
Also, I consider myself a pretty good cook, so I would not be opposed to sharing the kitchen duties with someone who enjoys it as much as I do. I would be mildly disappointed if I was banned from my own devices in the kitchen.
In general my expectations are adaptable from one relationship to another.
I am not in favor of having rigid family structures in place as far as obligations go.
My dream job would be to make a living off of Foreign Exchange Trading from a home office, which would allow me the flexibility to homeschool or pursue all kinds of personal academic stuff or just other things in general.

Thank you for your consideration, time, and response. I confer to you a few things. You must serve to lead. Those wishing to be greatest must become the least, and similarly, knowledge can puff up, but is meant to humble us. As you walk on your own journey with God, find what He tells you, and learn ever deeper what The Spirit has to teach.
"We are who we are called to be." ...and there are a great many callings.

If you want talk in absolutes... sure all men are guilty of sin. Guilty as charged. It might even be far fetched to say all men might've sinned the sin of pride. Guilty as charged. May God reach out to us and forgive us. And as for women... I think the same can be said... probably.
Anyways, I think you have a chip on your shoulder. I'm sorry if what I said bothers you... but as I was telling the other poster, she may have a point... feminism isn't necessary the cause for the more promiscuous modern woman, less approval of husband as household... etc etc It can easily be said that its pride that has led women into lesser standards. Pride. God chose husbands to lead their families and wives should submit. Why wouldn't she? I'd say maybe a good cause is pride and feminism can be a nice tool for not submitting to her husband and also disobeying God's structure of the family. Pride would just be a good explanation.

Not wanting to submit to a husband could be caused by many things. Pride is only one. Another is rebellion, and rebellion is borne of fear. To battle that, one must understand why there is fear. The problem with lack of submission (whether it's a women and her husband, a man and his church leaders, or anyone concerning God) is complicated and requires some serious soul-searching.
Not to derail the thread, but since you invoked the word "submit," let me educate you on the other side of that coin. As you mentioned, men lead their wives. Also notice that wives are rulers, or literally "despots" of the home. The bolded word is only found in the Bible this one time, and it where we get the word "despot" from.

- to be master (or head) of a house
- to rule a household, manage family affairs
