"Sub-man" might be a better way to put it. I'm a man, and I agree with GP. It's uncommon for men to think of women as whole, three-dimensional, intelligent people with complex inner lives.
In the US 91% of people rate gender equality (that men and women should have the same rights) as being "very important". The ideas that men think of women as less than men, but also think it's very important they have equal rights are hard to reconcile.
I find your view perverse and lacking resemblance to reality.
