Or, what if for any reason, the WIFE is the main breadwinner. Does the husband then have any right to be unhappy about his wife's job because she's not home enough, the housework doesn't get done, etc? Shouldn't he be a man and pitch in then and take on more household work, like have a hot dinner waiting for HER when she gets home??

Yeah, he should.
If one partner is working outside the home and is the primary breadwinner and the other doesn't work or works less, then they should pick up the slack at home. It's only fair. If both work full-time, then they need to share the household chores.
