Steve Harvey slams ‘lack of responsibility’ among modern men

American comedian, actor and all round powerhouse Steve Harvey is well known for giving relationship advice on social media and on his talk show, The Steve Harvey Show. More often than not, his advice results in big debates on social media especially since most of his advice stems from the outdated relationship structures that were once upon a time a societal norm.

This time people were left in a heated discussion after he blasted men for ignoring their responsibilities as providers. According to him, men need to stop asking women what they bring to the table.
