""A woman bears a burden that a man doesn't bear: pregnancy"
Well, now you're opening up a whole new can of worms. Maybe stated better that a woman bears a burden that an irresponsible man doesn't bear. Of course I understand the physical demands of pregnancy but it goes both ways. Believe me I was physically demanded upon at the time. No need to take me to task re: woman physically carries child and relative the male has far less burden regading this. I understand...
The different burden women bear from sex (the possibility of pregnancy) is likely one of the public policy concerns in protecting female sexiality more than male sexuality.
