Men don't work because that is their "image of masculinity" yadda yadda yadda. They work to put food on the table for their families.

There also is no "morality tale" for what women supposedly owe their husbands. But it hurts to find you are only valued for your money - is that really wrong, misguided, whatever? Are people not allowed to have feelings in relationships? I bet some wives are also hurt when they get older and find they were only valued for their pretty body. (Not saying either fate is inevitable, but it happens).

Low income is the best predictor for divorce, so there really is pressure on men to perform. And contrary to the feminist narrative it is not men who can't cope with their wives outearning them filing for divorce, it is women who tend to file for divorce.
