Provision is a huge part of a man's identity, and it's clearly a, we're commissioned to provide for our family, you know, financially and physically.

0:10.0

And yet it does seem like this is what's considered reasonable provision is going to vary from, I think, like, person to person.

0:21.4

And I always find it interesting that when you start paying attention to how both men and

0:26.9

women view, like, sufficient provision, it's like there's, it, it seems like it goes beyond,
