It's completely normal for her to want that. Its a question of polarities, no more no less. Actually that's kind of cool that she's bringing up her boundaries straight
If you re more of the submissive dude taking care of a girl, then date a more dominant lady who'll be happy to oblige (firemen, lawyers, police force etc). Otherwise you ll just be the meek guy who doesn't know what he wants ... and no lady ever want to deal with that
If that's bothering you just stop dating her immediately tho, that ll save her some false hopes
It's not about being dominant, or not, really. With my previous partners I was definitely the dominant person in our relationship, but at the same time we felt equal.
Also, women I've been with before tend to be feminists, which I think is good - I tend to connect progressiveness with intelligence (as does emprical research) - so this is just a little different for me. I don't think a woman needs to be a lawyer, fireman, police officer etc to feel like she's equal to a man. Most women I know aren't like this girl at all. Perhaps I just hang out with hipsters and whatnot, but it's just not what I'm used to. I don't have an issue with it, I'm just not used to it.
If she specifically said she wants to be a good housewife to her husband, or something like that involving gender roles, then maybe? But people that just start dating having one cook for the other isn't all that uncommon in general. We recommend it plenty of times when it's the guy asking what to do, after all :p
As it happens, that's near enough what she's said.
She also rationalised it as women being biologically designed to look after the home, have children, etc.
It doesn't really bother me if that's what she wants, but I would never want to be the guy that made or contributed to a woman feeling like that.
