The assertion the title makes, "SHOWING GENDER ROLES AREN’T PROGRESSING", is also laughable. It's the equivalent in ridiculousness as saying that because men admire beautiful intelligent women, it must mean gender roles are't progressing.
Why wouldn't you want an attractive, muscular man who has money?
Wouldn't it behoove those who can't compete along the defined axes of desirabilty to try to change the rules of the game, or somehow confuse people into attaching social or moral value in pretending common sense and instinct is wrong?
Sure. It would be intellectually dishonest for them to claim that the rules "should" be different, though (instead of just that they "want" the rules to be different).
The conclusions (about Gender roles) aren't sound.
All this is testing is sexual and social attractiveness - and it's never going to change that we're biologically wired to find certain traits attractive. Fitness, both physically and from a "provider" standpoint, is attractive.
I assume they know this themselves, but they simply want to make what is natural and has long standing tradition to become socially unpopular, for some self interested purpose.
Evolution hasnt been treating well the genes of those carriers who prefer losers, so the genes which made it to today are the ones which encode preference for winners.

That certainly depends on ones view of what constitutes 'progress'..

That has nothing to do with gender roles.
