There is a lot of truth to all of this. There feels like there is a certain nobility to being tirelessly dedicated to work and then giving whatever is left to the wife and kids. It’s unselfish and solidifies the man as the provider and “family man”. I don’t think this is completely wrong, but it can leave a man with shallow or non-existent friend relationships. There needs to be a balance.
