You missed the point. it's not an issue of gender role reversal. Ladder theory acknowledges that the disparity can run either direction. In fact, they gave examples of both.
The issue here is that she's on the wrong side of the disparity, not that she's female. If the disparity ran the other direction (ie. she was more attractive to her partner than he is to her) the dynamics of the relationship would be entirely different. That's all ladder theory is saying here.
