Margaret Fuller "Four Kinds of Equality"

Margaret Fuller talks about four types of equality between men and women.  The first is called the household partnership which means that the man furnishes the house and woman regulates it.  She calls this one good as far as it goes, but she really thinks that it could be better.

Then there's the closer ties of intellectual companionship and mutual idolatry.  The mutual idolatry she doesn't like because it focuses just on looks and not actual feelings for one another or partnership with one another.  She says they usually don't end or go well.  The intellectual companionship she says is more like a friendship based on ideological similarities.  She says this one leaves little room for love as they are more like friends than mates.  However she does like that they do tend to lean toward people with similar goals working together to obtain them.

Basically, the last one is the best one.  It is kind of a combination of them all.  The couple has a mutual idolatry of each other to a point (they have sexual attractions to one another).  There is an intellectual attraction as they have to help each other work toward each other's goals.  And each one must have abilities and jobs the other simply can't do so they compliment each other.  This last one is very similar to what I believe my fiancée and I have.
