Hmm. Why does a comment like that lead to a preference to males?

A comment like that comes from a person who isn't even trying to imagine himself in a place of someone who is actually going to conceive and carry to term all those as many as they can children. A woman who reads this will correctly conclude that this isn't a place where she is considered a person.

It goes beyond that. The idea that children should be made as means for a cause is equally disgusting.

Valid point. Thanks for the clarification.

Though to my experience, even women seem to think the the part that comes after is in fact more laborous that the carrying part - and that part can be equally shared between genders. Of course, it usually/traditionally isn't, so I guess that's a point towards male bias too.

And pregnancy itself is a personal existential risk.
