I think that much of society is not necessarily tradition but lack of change. The man has always proposed why she the woman do that now. People hate change, we are creatures of habit and that means following old out-dated "traditions".
I agree with the comment there is no talk about a man being the provided and maybe the woman staying at home with the children. It is just expected because as creatures of habit, that is the way it has always been.
As for my family my dad proposed to my mom and for many years after their first child my mom stayed home with her kids. My dad has always been the number one provider. Although I don't think they did it this way based on tradition they also didn't break this path.
