Are we really like that?

Sorry if something like this has started already, but I havent found yet.

In LOTR Treebeard tells Merry and Pippin the tale of the Entwives, but my dad brought up the idea that Tolkien was trying to say something about how women have to be in charge and have everything in order.

They did not desire to speak with these things; but they wished them to hear and obey what they said to them. The Entwives ordered them to grow according to their wishes, and bear leaf and fruit to their liking; for the Entwives desired order, and plenty, and peace (by which they meant that things should remain where they had set them).

What does everyone else think?
