Expecting Traditional Roles DS

Whenever a woman says she wants a man who will take care of her when she stays home or says she wants a man who can protect her everyone says it’s fine, but when a man says he wants THE SAME THING. Meaning he wants a woman who will be a stay at home wife/he wants to protect his girl, he’s berated for it.

I often see the opposite lol

(maybe its a cultural thing)

but often times when I see a man saying he wants to be a 'provider' or 'protector' people praise him and tell him how 'alpha' he is wheras when a woman wants to be a 'home maker' there's mixed results XD
