Yup, sure is.  The woman goes through nine months of hard effort to
create and nourish the child.  Even afterwards, even in a balanced
relationship, it is normally true that the woman is the primary care
taker, better suited for the job.

As a man I have no qualms about leaving the decision to the woman.  If
I want a child that bad, and it must be genetically mine, it is up to
me to win a woman to fulfill that role.
