That wasn't Leto's reason at all. He kept a standing army of women explicitly because according to him, women would be loyal to him as an individual while men would be loyal to the idea of the empire. That was counterproductive to his plans since he was literally trying to be the worst ruler for humanity in all of history.

reading god emperor I always got the impression he was seething with resentment/disappointment, having to repeatedly explain everything over and over because people kept reading their own importance/story into the jihad when they really just happened to be there at the time.
