But there are loads of heroes who are the fathers/husbands of dead children and wives. I haven't seen many women in the same situation.
Also, it's more common the further back you go to have a hero who has a wife and children waiting at home. Then society determined that was irresponsible of him, and childless or bereaved heroes became the norm.
