That means different things to men and women. If you are a man and you feel that way and your partner gets pregnant, that is too bad. If you are a woman and you feel that way and *you* get pregnant, you actually have to carry the damn thing! *You* might get morning sickness, *you* get to look like a whale, *you* get backache, etc., etc. The importance of avoiding pregnancy means different things to men and women. No wonder you get gender differences, and differences of the sort that show up.
