Ah yes, I don't remember the exact name they have for it, but yes, I've seen that too! "Behind every powerful man is a powerful woman" and all that.
I think most people don't believe that level of nonsense, but I DO think more people kinda tacitly believe a much more mild version, that women are lazier and have it easier because men just do things for them. (Sometimes with the subtext of, "men can't resist the sexy.")
Even though generally, most people aren't willing to settle for shadow power if they can get the real thing!
