I think that what Nancy thought problematic was not the assumption that men would raid and women would be plundered, but the assumption that "we" would raid rather than be plundered--i.e. that "we" are only men.
Exactly.
I used to see that sort of "real people are men" statement as a sort of humorous gusto in slightly poor taste, and it wouldn't surprise me if that's how it's intended. I've since realized that it also has an effect on availability bias.
The choice of the word "steal" instead of "kidnap" was the tipoff on the status of women.
