I address that idea as it applies to rape in comics in a fair degree of detail here: http://www.girl-wonder.org/insideout/?p=19 I think it comes from the flawed assumption that while the base biological drive that propels men is lust, the only equally strong drive in women is the desire for motherhood.

A fear that they might be forced to be fathers against their will. Maybe some sort of "omg I'm a father now I'll have to pay child support and grow up." Or it might be a fantasy thing, that a hot chick wants this guy so much she wants to have his baby. I think this might be a weird fear of some men (I’m just guessing here).

For those who missed it, Tony Bedard goofed as to which of Oliver Queen’s illegitimate sons was the result of a supervillain raping him. Ollie’s firstborn son, Connor Hawke, was the result of a casual hook up with a woman named Moonday Hawke Armitage. And then later, a supervillain named Shado raped Ollie and had his baby against his will, a kid named Robert. But Bedard accidentally said Shado was Connor’s mom, which would have made a creepy recent cover of Connor and Shado making out way creepier.

But on the whole, that's a very good question. I can't think of any other good examples off the top of my head (although for some reason I keep thinking of 90's X-villain "Haven" who had a sentient mutant fetus) but that is a pretty weird trope.
