I think it would be more accurate to say that the deficiencies of (some) men were used as excuse by feminists to sell their poision.
With his life, Jesus Christ gave the leadership model for men to follow. Paul re-iterated in Ephesians chapter 5:
Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.
