A large generalization but in my experience women operate under the assumption that they will marry a partner that has equal or greater earning potential. Men assume that they will have to support their partner.
The other part of this is kids and biological reality. Can't imagine doing a trade or physical job while pregnant. Even after birth it took my wife a solid year or more before she was physically back to "normal".
