I think it's both.

For some lockdown is #1; for some children are #1.

Janus and Janus (1993) found that men were slightly more eager than women to report wanting to have a baby regardless of whether they married or remained single, and also more likely than women to agree that parenthood is the highest human attainment. Still, these findings do not rule out the hypothesis that women actually engage in sex for the extrinsic goal of having a baby more often (or more eagerly) than men.

Do men feel a strong longing for children? Survey results show that many men do: nearly half of both men (44%) and women (50%) in the survey of adults of all parities in 2007 say they have longed to have a baby once or a few times in their lives. However, men's longing appears to be significantly less frequent and intense Compared to women, men are twice as likely to report never having felt any baby longing, and are half as likely to have experienced this type of longing frequently (22% of women but 42% of men have never felt this longing 28% women and 13% of men have longed frequently, p<0.001 for both associations).

In my experience, women want babies somewhat more than men, e.g. they play a lot more with baby dolls at child age, fantasize about buying baby garments etc.

Women have an urge to lock down resources to establish optimal conditions for having babies. That's what mostly drives hypergamy, in addition to protection.

Ultimately, natural selection wise, the only thing that matters is to have a descendence (sort of). Humans are literally the only species where children sometimes end up helping their parents, yet in every species the female willingly has kids.

Yes, woman are human being just like you, they want things for different reasons. Why you want to get your dick wet? To be alpha, to be that guy who fucks, to feel needed, to feel good,to love,to tell your friends. Different reasons in different points at life, just like in your life.

You can kill a man, but you can't kill an idea.
