Under the old contract, men worked and served as "pack mule".
Here's the rub: in return, women were expected to respect the husband, submit to his leadership, accept his provisioning with grace, gratitude and humility, make a home for the man, and have sex with him at reasonable intervals.
When a man receives these things from his woman, he will gladly serve as pack mule and lay down his life for her. That is the way it is supposed to work.
Women's complete repudiation of the social contract has caused men to rethink their roles, too. This was absolutely inevitable.
