The quote seems to imply that financial support and handling life's responsibilities are a man's work ("masculine energy"). Quite an out-dated way of thinking I would have thought...?
If the moral of the story is merely "lazy people don't make good partners", then what of all the "masculine energy" nonsense? Surely it could be made in a 'gender-neutral' fashion.
