Absolutely agree.
When a woman is being Motherly towards her man, do you interpret that as providing and protecting?
My mother wears the pants in my home. If a man is not working and expects the woman to work, and provide AND respect him and give him sex on demand while he watches TV all day and grows a bear-gut, then I guess that would be motherly. (just kidding)

A woman will prepare food for her husband and children, but that is not providing. A woman will protect her children alongside the man, but she is not the first line of protection for the family.
The man puts the food in the fridge, but the woman prepares the meal in the fridge. Empty fridge man's fault. Full fridge but no food is woman's fault. I get that.
If you don't have work or a good job, then marriage is the worst experience in my limited experience. My marriage in the past crashed badly because of issues like that. Allot of people avoid marriage altogether, like the plague, if they can't fund it. No money in a marriage equals a disaster. If you have a real woman that would go homeless with you and live on the streets with you then you've got a keeper. Most women are not like that.
