That wonderful, and obviously you can want anything you want for yourself, and I hope you find someone who is right for you. As I would hope that for everyone.
But there are some other females who don't care for the idea that a man would take care of them. And feminism, which is the natural opposite of this men's rights movement idea, quite simply argues against that being the default assumption. Men's rights advocates would say that all women want what you want, feminism allows for that to be a choice.
Men's rights are inherent in society and our cultural paradigm, and as such require only the same advocacy that general human rights issues should receive. What they don't require is the special attention given to bringing the rights of oppressed groups into line with the rights of general society. Because men's rights are that default with which feminism strives to be equal.
Is there prejudice against men in our society now? Yes, that clearly happens sometimes. What there isn't, though, is oppression.
