It's taboo in American culture, which I find ridiculous.

I hope my son's not reading this.
Uggggg, on the surface it sounds nice, family supporting family, but again, this "support" is rooted in religious sexism. I wonder on average, if males whom are unmarried have that same advantage? Maybe not so much now, but in America it has had a long history of not batting an eye at girls or wives being financially supported, but men, are expected when they hit 18 to hit the bricks and move out.
CJ should not, or anyone reading this, should not claim I am singling anyone out. Conservative sexism exists in every religion to some degree worldwide. Even in China, which is falsely assumed to be religion free. China is mostly Buddhist and a mix of Asian religions, but also have Muslims and Christians. They also have conservatives whom place the family honor on the female and victim blame too. India also.
The family support I am absolutely fine with, I simply question if it is a neutral attitude or a gender role issue.
