I think it's because I feel I should apologize on behalf of my gender. But he's used to it -- it started in the hospital, when he was basically treated like an unnecessary appendage by hospital staff and his thoughts and feelings were complete discounted.

I have a friend whose birthday is in October and I missed it this past year... and I'm pretty sure she turned 40. The idea that it should be marketed to men with the line about all men being thoughtless is offensive though. Plenty of women are thoughtless too.
