That articles says females do the hunting and getting food for the male while males only handle territory. That’s equivalent to the male on the couch watching TV with a shotgun on his lap defending his territory and the females going hunting (aka kitchen) to make the husband a sandwich. Joking aside the males are the leaders. How do I know? They kill the kids on arrival and the females can’t do fuck shit. |

That's a myth.
Male lions do hunt. When hunting alone and not as "heavy support" for the females, they use different strategies than the females, and do it in a different environment. I read an article from a researcher about that in particular, can't remember any context to find it quickly though.
There are many (scientific and casual) articles like that though:
