I could list species of fish and frogs in which the male exclusively cares for the young, in taxonomical classes in which most species do not do any caring of the young full stop.

In short, that is a total anthropomorphism of Gabbits. Even in most mammals and birds the female does not exclusively care for the young. If anything, it is arthropods in which the females do most of the parental care (not least because of the eusocial insects, where all of the workers are female).
