I think that's exactly why? Because women, when they get married, always have to choose and bear some consequences either way, but it's such an unquestioned system that most men never think about it at all. That's an imbalance that I've never appreciated. It's yet another way women are the marked gender and men the unmarked, and it would be nice to get to a place where that's not the case.
