My rule of thumb about things like that is to reverse it and see if it sounds better or worse.
"The truth is, man is the window to a woman’s heart and a woman’s heart is the gateway to her soul."
That would be seen as odd at best and ridiculous at worst, so the inverse shouldn't be particularly profound either, imho. Also, reversal clearly illustrates the implied power discrepancy, I feel.
