What is a man's purpose if he's not supposed to be a provider?

Someone asked Keith Jarrett to describe his role while he was playing with miles Davis' band

And he didn't rightfully know
He said he didn't add anything musically..
So maybe he didn't have a role??
But they wanted to play together so they did

Likewise,, maybe I don't serve a purpose to my fiance
Yes,,I broaden her world some
But any semi-functioning boyfriend/husband would do that
Yes,, we share erotic intimacy..
But again, anyone can provide some form of that
Its not like I am opening up new worlds to her
She's already successful and accomplished
Its not like she gets to fly in a private Lear jet to eat at a 5 star Michelin restaurant
Or sit in on the next bildaberg meeting

I think we're together because we want to be..

At the beginning of mean streets
yall fought tooth and nail for equal pay and no gender roles and not needing a man etc.. and are confused when men stop wanting to "provide" for women?
what sense does that make?

women want their cake and want to eat it too. yall want societal norms and gender roles only when it benefits you. if you want an equal society, then we'll have an equal society and we'll both bring our personality or w/e the fukk to the table
So do men. It's a two way street. Some men want a traditional woman while not even being traditional themselves, that means being a provider.

Men as a whole are dumb...

A lot of men still for some reason base their manliness or their masculinity on their ability to provide for a woman. And they'll intentionally seek out backwards ass women that want a man to do everything for them.

Yet these same men don't wanna feel taken advantage of...like a bytch...cause that's what it is essentially is...being someone's bytch...

So they'll be like...

"I need my woman to do what I say. Because I am the man of the house. She don't need to be blah blah blah..."

A lot of men don't understand, a woman getting her own money, having her own house, creating her own lifestyle...

IS EMANCIPATION FROM WOMEN.

In order to get love and sex and intimacy from a woman...you no longer have to give her money and a lifestyle that she desires...

It is an opportunity to live your life as you see fit without worrying about your masculinity because you don't got a kept bytch.

But they don't see it that way...cause they are stupid.
I wish I could rep you breh

a woman should expect that in ANY relationship whether she makes more or not, or its not going to work. the reason is men dont really care about how much a woman makes. we dont date women just because they make a certain amount of money. (unlike women with men) he will chunk the deuces with the quickness
to a woman who feels she doesnt need to respect the mans wishes because she makes more money.

if you cant submit to a man just because of money, you arent wifey material anyway IMO. a good woman knows a mans worth isnt just his wallet, and will work hard to keep a good man around, and vice versa.

You don't care about money? Great, use your money to support your household and leave hers out of it and you will get all the submission you desire. Strange that you think being male entitles you to special privileges (submission) from a woman, but being a woman entitles women to nothing. Not even provision. I think that's what this thread is getting at.

The traditional relationship where women submit requires that men be the primary providers of the household. You want it to be one way, where you remove the pressure of providing for a household by yourself but keep the privileges that that type of hard work allots you, but its the other way.

what dont you understand ? there are women that make good money yet STILL expect the man to pay for all the major bills while only spending their money on groceries and cable tv.

these chicks just want to horde all their cash so they can have a nice parachute for when they decide to jump ship :francis:

you heauxs aint slick :ufdup:
If the man allows it then he deserves to be cleaned out.

:dwillhuh:

So a woman isn't supposed to be independent

AND she isn't supposed to depend on her partner for financial support?


Riddle me this; what are you new aged "men" bringing to the table?

Well we all can't be ballers, I don't k ow what the real answer is but I was gonna ask something similar to this.

The ladies have a point. It's unfair to expect them to be submissive while paying half the bills. It was never meant to be that way.

let's be honest here,
men are the superior gender. We're smarter and stronger than any woman could ever be.
a man's role is to cultivate the path of human progression be that in the science or the arts.
Men are the leaders, the guardians and the gate keepers of the human race, women are meant to nurture offspring and please men, in any well-functioning society that's the way it's supposed to be.
