What is the equivalent stereotype of 'women should all be homemakers,' for men?
I figured a close stereotype for men, would be that they should all be farmers. The thing is, there are under two million farmers in the US as of 2023. So statistically, an equivalent occupation/role should have a larger number.

Protectors & providers
It's one of the worst kind of inequality which women don't (or rarely) ever examine and question if it's compatible with modern ideas
I don't know about the provider thing these days but I feel like the protector part still holds true. If you hear a person messing with your door lock in the middle of the night it's the guys job to go check out on it. Statistically virtually every man is stronger than all women so ofcourse that's who you send in when there's a risk for physical altercation.
I agree and that's still poison.
The idea that when something growling outside the cave has everybody shaking inside, it's the guy's job to get a pointed stick and go outside, knees knocking, heart pounding.
This is not compatible with modern life. Especially if the person scrounging around outside is a meth-addled woman, and I happen to go out in uppercut her.
