Summary: In a society where gender roles are evolving, it's disheartening to witness men taking advantage of women's financial struggles.

A man who contributes minimally to the family's expenses, yet exploits his wife's earnings, is not only a financial burden but also an emotional weight. He neglects his responsibilities as a husband and father, leaving the woman to bear the brunt of living expenses, repairs, and emotional distress.

Such men are not only unbelievers in the true sense of partnership but also leeches who feed on the hard work and dedication of their wives. They justify their actions by partly paying bills, while the wife bears the weight of all other expenses. This is not only unfair but also a form of emotional abuse.

A man who takes advantage of a woman's earnings, without fulfilling his responsibilities as a husband and father, is not a partner but a parasite. He sucks the life out of his family's well-being, leaving behind a trail of emotional scars and financial burdens. It's time to call out such exploitation and demand equal contribution and respect in all aspects of family life.

Here are some Bible verses that remind us of the role of a husband and a father:

Husbands:

- "Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her" (Ephesians 5:25)

- "Husbands, love your wives and do not be harsh with them" (Colossians 3:19)

- "Husbands, in the same way, be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker partner and as heirs with you of the gracious gift of life, so that nothing will hinder your prayers" (1 Peter 3:7)

Fathers:

- "Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord" (Ephesians 6:4)

- "Fathers, do not embitter your children, or they will become discouraged" (Colossians 3:21)

- "As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him" (Psalm 103:13)

These verses remind us that husbands and fathers are called to love, care for, and provide for their families, and to do so with kindness, compassion, and respect. They are also called to be spiritual leaders and to bring their families up in the ways of the Lord.

Here's a Bible verse that supports the idea that abusing men are evil:

"The Lord examines the righteous, but the wicked and those who love violence His soul hates" (Psalm 11:5).

Additionally, here are some Bible verses that condemn violence and abuse:

- "Do not be violent or take revenge, dear friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written, 'I will take revenge, I will pay them back,' says the Lord" (Romans 12:19).

- "Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse" (Romans 12:14).

- "He who loves his wife loves himself. After all, no one ever hated their own body, but feeds and cares for their body, just as Christ does the church" (Ephesians 5:28-29).

These verses emphasize that violence and abuse are not acceptable behaviors, and that we should strive to love and care for one another, rather than harming or hurting each other.
