'Punishing' is for exactly the reason you mentioned: the intention to get back at men, but in my experience, it isn't for the author's pregnancy but men's insensitivity and callousness toward pregnancy--that perhaps if they knew what it meant to be pregnant, they'd be enlightened. Problem is, women write these stories so who exactly is learning what?
Perhaps some of the Mpreg stories out there are better written than most of the drivel that can be found, but I still don't see the *point.* And I mention it because, as I've said elsewhere, something will continue to bug me until I understand it.
