Feminism might be leveling the playing field and making people open up their eyes to gender roles in society.

Great response. I would agree. I think that feminism has given people the ability to romance one another equally, if that's what they want to do. Feminism really is about choice, in the end--and that's where it applies to this issue. People either choose to romance or be romanced, to engage in relationships where that kind of old-fashioned romance occurs, or they choose to redefine romance, or opt out of the romantic expectation entirely. And there is absolutely nothing wrong with any of those choices.
