In most cultures, there is so much pressure on men to take up the responsibility of providing financially for the family. As a person, do you think a man should be the primary bread winner of the family?

Nowadays, couples share responsibility including financial responsibilities. Here, many couples work and contribute to the income of the family. I have also known families with the wife as the main breadwinner.

Any man who is not capable of being the bread winner of the family will be ridiculed and embarrassed in the house. A man needs to always provide even though he can’t do it all
Yes, they need to provide more for the family unless they are willing to share in the domestic demands of the home

Anyone can take the role of bread winner, this is not a gender specific role. IN fact both can work together and earn bread and butter

While most people see it as the duty of the man to be the bread winner, since he is the man and the head of the home, there is notting wrong if both the man and the woman are bread winners.

It is beneficial for a husband and wife to work together, especially given the current challenging times. The husband may be able to contribute more to the household income, while the wife works online and takes care of their children.

From my religious beliefs and how I think it should be, a man is the one who should provide for the family because he is the head and that will maintain respect

Yes the man is the head, and as the head, it is his duty to provide and protect the family. Yes the woman can assist and bring in as well if she has. But the man has to be at the forefront.

No, I don't believe a man should be the primary breadwinner by default. In today's society, gender roles have evolved, and both partners should have equal opportunities to contribute to the family's financial stability.

Everything should go in balance, everyone do have their own responsibility. If women start earning and man remain sleeping, then who will take care of children. They need extra attention. Women are doing job here too, but she has other responsibilities also, so man must try to lead the role.

It's not happening in my place. There is equal sharing not a man that's absurd. There should be equal distribution of what to pay. It's not anymore true today that's it's only the man to carry the financial burden.
