Because he can't behave in a manly fashion?

A fundamental rule of logic is one "cannot disprove a negative." For example, if someone is accused of being a liar there is no way they can disprove that; hence, in a mature society it is anticipated that the person complaining has the burden of proof--not the person accused.
