It doesn't say real men provide everything.

That is, however, what is expected. The current thinking is that men should assume the same responsibilities that they did by the reckoning of "traditional gender roles" but not have the same benefits to go with it.

In a different time, when more jobs were physical and you really needed men doing them, the traditional roles made more economic and social sense. That time is behind us.

In different times, the physical labor a woman performed in caring for the family was a full time job.

It probably equals out even today with dishwashers and prepared foods, etc. It’s still physical labor and time consuming.
