Yes, it's a fascinating reversal of gender expectations, and I think this might be why people come harder down on Roslin than on Adama, though both made mistakes. It's easier to empathize with the focus on the personal. We also want Starbuck to survive. We also are invested in the relationships between Adama and Kara, or Adama and Lee, more than we are in some long-term goal. Etc.

(Though I suppose if you are one of the guys in the fleet waiting for Adama to break off the search for Starbuck before you get killed... Hm. Might have found my "Common Man" story.)
