I have observed since about 4 years of age that the buck stops with me. I, and I suspect the vast majority of men, have no backstop - If I have any problem that I can't fix myself, or can't pay money to get assistance with, I am fucked.

I think this is an important observation. Women, almost always, have some avenue of potential support, even if it's unsavory. Men very often have nothing.
