It's not a flaw. If he's going to be that 'breadwinner' for the household, its easier to support him when he's being the leader of his own life and taking the bull by the horns.
Many aren't going to understand this perspective because it comes across as outdated on the surface, but underneath it is how it is in a lot of ways. Those who command respect strive to be the best they can, whatever the direction may be.
I used to have the same perspective as many here and I would've called you out as well as even myself! Then I learned a lot about psychology and human behavior. And I realized the importance of putting your goals and passions first and it turned my perspective on life upside down. The way we are wired is actually quite different from what society tell us is correct/incorrect these days. As much as on the surface those politically correct ideas make sense and are easy to agree with.
