I think so. It’s an expectation that a man is supposed to share his finance and resource with a woman (by getting married, a huge risk).
So what do we get in return?

Traditionally it was that you had a woman that belonged to you, also taking your surname. Is that still the case?

Why would men get married to a woman if he doesn’t get this? It seems like a scam. Why do men always have to work hard and then lose it if a woman decides. Why is the risk on us? We need to have control over the woman otherwise it’s a scam.

In the old days, the groom would formally wear a top hat to a wedding as a symbol of his elevated social status when taking a wife and establishing a new household.

The top hat was a very formal article of men's clothing in the Victorian era, signifying wealth, prestige and high social standing. As the groom was committing to lead and provide for his new bride and family, donning a top hat showed he had achieved a position of authority, respectability and financial security suitable for marriage. It communicated to guests that this was an important, legitimate union endorsed by societal norms. The hat also allowed the groom to tower proudly over the crowd and be readily identifiable as the lead partner in the ceremony. While unconventional today, in its time, wearing a top hat helped the groom "dress to impress" and publicly convey his seriousness of purpose and commitment to the expected roles and responsibilities of a husband through his attire.

Do men still do this at weddings now or no?
