To jump to the defense of the boy-population, messing with sperm is far more dangerous in case of failure. You wouldn't want a misshapen sperm to fertilize an ova -- birth defects galore. On the female side, the eggs are already produced so there isn't an issue with fabrication of gametes, just delivery of same to the fallopian tubes.

The fun thing about evolution (and science in general) is that it happens whether you believe in it or not.
