Out of context I understand the statement to refer to top/bottom in a Dom-y/subby kinda way which then would imply a macho-like view of sex, yes.

Well, either it was a "there is only sex in the missionary position - at night - between a maried couple - and even then only to make a baby" view of sex or the "he is the macho hero of the show, he needs to push the woman on the bed" view. Both are - well if nothing else deeply hypocritical for the - then - WB.
