It depends on the people in the relationship. You should not define yourself in relation to him because he is a man and you are a woman. You should define yourself in relation to him because you are Brooke and he is Sam or Tom or whoever. You probably are his equal in somethings and his superior in others but that is because you are individuals, not man and woman.
Who cares what society thinks? Society is a lot more fragmented now than it was when your parents were growing up. You'll find parts of society that will accept you and parts that wont. As long as the people who are important to you accept you, what's the problem?
It was a man who said that man is the head of the woman and he wasn't married.
