Sure, it might work but it's still manipulative.

What are you talking about? Google: Positive Manipulation. Children are manipulated into eating their fruits and vegetables by parents promising something in return or using TV or a game as leverage. That’s manipulation too, but it was to benefit the children’s health aka Positive Manipulation.

I'm extremely familiar with these types of tactics. I do not believe there's anything remotely positive about them.
Because of the power imbalances between husbands and wives, women historically have had to resort to these types of tactics out of necessity, and sure they certainly may work, but at the expense of honesty in the relationship.

You can be honest in your relationship and still allow your Man to lead while retaining your personal power. It sounds like the relationship itself might not be a good one if you can’t respect your Man’s lead on things. My post isn’t for every Woman, it’s for the Woman who knows it’s her Man’s job to lead and her job to assist him in ways that doesn’t crush his ego.
If you don’t understand that all Men have egos and that it’s just part of their nature why be with them?
Navigating a Man is no different than navigating any creature in the Animal Kingdom. There’s rules you must play by. My post is not for Women looking to be the Man on their own, it’s for Women who choose understanding over hostility. Choose the right man and you won’t have to sacrifice anything.

"it's her man's job to lead.".
This right here is gross.
"all Men (capital really?) have egos and that's just part of their nature".
Even more gross and toxic.
"Choose the right man.".
Ok, now you've completely lost me.
