Found it.
The info in the -20 comment is, I believe, accepted as common knowledge by people who study "sexual politics." The different goals have to do with the nine months of discomfort females may have to endure while men have no such risk.

I'd hope persons who feel that strongly would post their reasons for objecting but in this case I take what I read as fact.
Your statement isn't interpreted as a dry statement of fact, but a signal about your beliefs about human sexual politics. Don't bring up, or hint at, those politics (or any politics, really) here, if you don't want to get downvoted.
Nominally Less Wrong is anti-politics. In practice, there are political views that -can- get you upvotes, because people have a tendency to treat political beliefs they agree with as truths, rather than politics. I strongly recommend you stay away from anything even vaguely political until you see the patterns, however.
