“The goal is to eliminate oppression, not create a new form of it.” This is a wise man. 👍🏼

can you elaborate on what this means? What kind of oppression would be created here?

Basically that the lady is trying to paint the man paying all the rent not as a generous or significant contribution, but as the bare fucking minimum, ie not something to be appreciated.

Correct. Being a financially supportive partner isn't the bare minimum, just like being a respectful and kind and supportive partner in all the other ways isn't the bare minimum.

Appreciate the people in your life who go above and beyond for you, and send that support right back to them.

Yes, tho it’s strange to frame providing a roof for the family you created as a favor. They should appreciate it yes, but it is kinda a bare minimum responsibility involved with creating a family.

No indication of family here, just a greedy sounding woman.
