I will agree with you to an extent.
Though many will immediately fall back on claims of "women were oppressed for so long and could not contribute" the fact is, Western society HAS allowed contributions from women, culturally, for some time now.
And yet, development of and focus on the 'big picture' themes of human existence seem to still be dominated by men. It is men who, as children, hunger to become heroes and fight for a just world(though it would be true the definition of such might be less 'just' or 'right' for one child's learned patterns than another's) and who find most resonant the themes of redemption and honor and even love(allegedly the purview of the feminine.)
I think, though, much of this comes from the more recent political drive of feminism and victimology, wherein stories with wider appeal and thematic content are pushed aside(before even finding expression) in favor of PC self-pity novels and "women being oppressed by the man in her life" Lifetime flicks(or more artful but still distastefully anti-male/female-exclusive films.)
I'd also point out that men are the sacrificers in society. They work the most dangerous jobs, they fight for their country(be it right or wrong in a particular case) and ideals and even a cursory glance at single-parent families reveal that it is the lack of a good FATHER that destroys the child's future, not the lack of a mother(assuming the father or father-figure is there.) And that goes for children of both sexes.
Of course they will; women have always used their generally superior verbal skills to manipulate circumstances to their liking.
It is only when they are faced with equivalent verbal dexterity as with another woman, or a particularly gifted man that they become sputtering harpies.
Note how many women blame men for the drudgery of shaving legs and armpits when the practice was more likely started by one woman trying to beat out another for the attention of men. Do they ever mention the widespread insistence men shave off their natural "plumage" because women find it abrasive?
