63. Absolutely
But that wasn't the question. At least the way I read it.

"Why don't men who choose to have no children get the same questions?"

Men don't really get to choose whether or not to have children. They can choose to have sex or not. They can choose a partner who also doesn't want children. Ultimately though, when it comes to actually giving birth, it's up to the woman.

Why don't men get those same questions? I'm just throwing out a possible reason. It may not be the reason, it may not even be a reason, but it was an open ended question.

If the question was "Should men who choose to have no children get the same questions?", I'd say sure, if you're going to ask woman that question, why the hell not ask men. But the question was why. Maybe it has something to do with the physical differences between men and women. Maybe it doesn't. I know I don't care what the reasons are for a woman having or not having a kid, but the question was more of a look into the collective mind of society, and all the variables and complexities that exist within it.
