There's risk for men as well, without much reward. Why would you risk becoming a father and being subjected to what many would feel is an unfair and costly family court system. I'm not sure what the benefit would be in a society that looks at you funny (as a threat) if you're the one taking your kid to playground, assuming your wife takes care of you (increasingly rare), etc. The expectations for men have changed and probably increased, the downsides have increased, but the stereotypes remain.
"we say we care about having a society full of children, but in reality, we don’t."
We only care that we have an increasing population to drive our consumer economy.
