That is just such a weird thing to say. For a man to say that suggests a serious problem with their own masculinity and self-esteem in general. It reminds me of my father who told me on occasion that it was emasculating for his wife to work. This from a guy who managed to lose almost all of the ample inheritance he received from his parents within 10 years so that my mother had to get a job at a local fitness center to feed the family while he regurgitated in self pity.

Needless to say they divorced shortly after. His new wife now spends her life taking care of him like a servant without pay. There is of course a word for that. And also needless to say Hemingway was one of his heroes.
