No, it's not. It's calling out what looks like emotional abdication and for men to do their part, not to lead. Women for the most part absolutely are not looking to be led, they want a partner who will meet them half way and do their part in all things. Only very damaged women or ones raised in conservative religious communities even remotely imagine that they want a man to lead.

"Gerson found that when the demands of daily living and the organization of work make it hard to live out egalitarian ideals, men and women have different fallback positions. Of the young men who wanted egalitarian marriages, 60 percent said that if this was out of reach, they would choose some kind of modified male breadwinner marriage, in which they earned the bulk of family income and their partner took care of most family obligations. The reaction of young women, however, was strikingly different. Eighty percent of them told Gerson they would rather go it alone than be in a traditional or even a modified traditional marriage."
