Yes. Well perhaps not feminine wiles, but a greater degree of determination than men need.

Even here in Norway, which is a bastion of egalitarianism, men still have life time earnings substantially in excess of women and are a larger proportion of industrial workers, politicians, and board members.

In other societies that are less advanced in this respect I can easily imagine that the occasional wielding of a 'feminine wile' might count for something.
