Absolutely no real life correlation, only in gender perceived norms, real life is quite different. Gender, economic or social status has little to do with it. Culture can change how people expect to be seen in this case but is not a barometer of how they are in reality. Men are just as submissive as women even if they cannot allow others to see them as such.
Many alphas in society are submissive in the bedroom and visa versa. In sex and in life partners, generally speaking, the good pairings are those that fit well with people that fit like a puzzle piece, if your mate is curving out, you curve in. Gender doesn't make the curves the curves are built in, no matter what Hollywood might say.
The scary thing is that the submissive males in male social groups can be the most dangerous to females. It is very true, I will let you work through that on your own though.
I know that we seek verification or validation in so many ways but it doesn't exist, it is just justification for how we feel. We don't need to justify, just be honest with ourselves and live our life true to who we are.
