Your answer is on the right track, but there is a better option.

Annette assumes Wayne would not cope in a crisis - her view is that wives support their husbands.

Would the same comments be made to a woman under the same circumstances?

Good answer.

Both comments between both Wayne and Annette are stereotypical views held about men - in the case of Wayne - and single mothers - in the case of Annette.

Their respective rights would be in relation to the sex or gender for both of them and marital status for Annette.

Try another option.

It is partly true, but the comments being made by both parties may fall foul of equal opportunity laws - the words used by both Wayne and Annette may amount to discrimination.

It gets down to what is actually being said and how.
