Well, I'm sure there are way more men who assault children sexually than women. That's why it's safer for kids to go to a woman if they need help, than a man... But in most articles, they say the safest is to go to a mother, not just any woman..

And there are still a lot of men who really don't know as much than their wives when it comes to child care (I made a poll about it on another forum, and 90% of the husbands didn't even know what size clothes or diapers their babies wear).

So yes, it's often a generalization, but sadly there is still a lot of truth in there.
