Some people think that they're irresponsible for getting pregnant with the wrong man and hence indirectly/directly affecting the future of the child.
@Poofy People have forgotten asexual conception exists.

@Poofy that I can agree with. I was very reckless and irresponsible in my youth. I was wildly in love from age 14 till I left at 20 with a very irresponsible guy because it was exciting. I only left because of my baby.

For wreckless and irresponsible men that usually means prison or dead. For women it usually means babies.

We are told to forgive men who made mistakes and end up in prison, we mourn their death if they die. We condemn women who get pregnant with these men. It's an imbalance.
@Poofy It means that there are mothers who conceived children through willpower alone.
@KaiserSolze Yes. Nicely worded. Women are left with the physical consequence, the child, whereas men are left with themselves and their faults.
@Amyrakunejo That sounds like a load of bull to the majority of people.
