Men see the state as their enemy. The state appropriates their income, outlaws their natural behavior, and imprisons them if they step out of line. Men are more frequently imprisoned for their crimes, sentenced to longer stays in prison, and executed more often than women. Thus, it is only natural that they would support the downsizing of the state. The source of these differences, of course, is embodiment.
Women are more often than men left with the burden of caring for children.
This fact is reflected in their physiology. Men, on the other hand, must generally take the word of a woman when choosing to be responsible. Thus, women have a greater need for security of income. If the man that impregnated a woman will not take responsibility, she will call on the state to force him to do so. She will demand of politicians the passage of laws that will protect her.
