many women want to explore issues of procreation and pregnancy without having to feel a compulsory sense of identification with the character who is pregnant

Huh? I literally don't understand what you're trying to say here. Why would they feel a compulsory sense of identification with that character?

[(Anonymous)]

If you don't get it, I don't think explaining it to you is going to help, but ok. We all identify with different characters to different degrees, and we all have our reasons for why we identify strongly with some characters and not with others. When a highly sex-or-genderized event happens to a female character, some women feel a sense of identification with that female character whether they want to or not. (This really shouldn't be confusing. I never see anyone question why most men react more strongly than most women to seeing a male character get kicked in the nuts.) So when a female character gets knocked up, for example, their empathy with the character makes them imagine it a bit as though it were happening to them. Whereas when a male character gets knocked up, some women find they can hold it a bit more at arms length. Close enough to get into it, but not so close that it's climbing all over them, so to speak.

NA

It's also telling that mpreg isn't at all popular with men.

I'd change that to "most men" - I've seen m!preg bara manga made by and for gay men, though it generally plays out differently than the fanfic variant.

This. The anon you're responding to must be intentionally obtuse or dumb as rocks because this is just basic human behaviour. There's a reason women are more adverse to watching shit like Game Of Thrones because it's chock full of women being gratuitously raped (that's filmed in a way that's meant to be titillating, no less) while men don't care or argue "durr it's historically accurate so it's okay!". Obviously most men aren't gonna give a shit about women being exploited or victimized because it's not something they can relate to or identify with.

Yeah, I don't get it at all, because the thought of personally being pregnant is objectively horrifying to me, but I enjoy reading stories about my favorite female characters starting families specifically because they're NOT me and so I can enjoy them having a desire to have children and then having children because it's something that's completely separate from me and my own wants and dislikes and feelings.
