BS! The highest risk in the modern world for both men and women is to form a lasting marriage with children!

The difference as in other professions is the unfair and unjust burden women face in having a family as Men of the world are not yet up to the task of full sharing of child rearing duties.

Has very little to do with the want..cost of the want however different story

Risk aversion makes sense from a biological standpoint, though. Males are expendable, thus must show off to get mating rights (because we don't live in a world where women are won (in most places)).

As to the Modern World, men rarely take maternity leave. That's a long time to be away from a job, a large risk for the company, at a possibly highly inopportune moment. Risk.
