That's an interesting parallel. I suspect the point is that entering all relationships with the expectation that all men are pigs carries certain benefits, but then it also likely has costs, such as an inability to form truly deep connections.
Many societies are deeply partiarchal and misogynistic. Men can mistreat their wives with impunity. So is the solution to eschew men? Not if your somehow healthy existence is predicated on having a male companion.
Still there might be private spaces to speak frankly about such a state of affairs.
It’s more like a woman breaking up with a man and someone else says “realize that all men are pigs”.
