Human beings don't have a feeding cycle so does that mean we go on binge eating! 😲 The evolutionary excuse is just that – cow dung ! You can dunk them aside for the time being 😆
Mere 9 months! Its more like a life long responsibility . Children never grow up! 😛
Well, there are men who need support (moral and emotional also financial sometimes) throughout their life. So?

We have a fertility cycle and hormonal changes do affect sex drive. However, we can have sex and enjoy it during all stages of the fertility cycle, even during the period. Similarly, we can have and enjoy sex during gestation as well. I don't think these have anything to do with the evolutionary differences in sex drives.
I think you are right with the evolution aspect, but your rationale is a bit off.
Many female mammals raise the offspring by themselves or are part of a pack. The reason the female is selective is because that off spring is to be the propagator of the species. She chooses the best possible male so that the offspring has the best possible evolutionary traits of the species. Many mammals fight to be the alpha male an win the privilege of procreating. The alpha male is the strongest and has the best evolutionary traits. So only he gets to propagate the species. An alpha male will mate with all females in a pack. But the beta males may never get the privilege of mating.
Emotional attachments, monogamy, marriages, relationships are more social human traits and don't have much to do with evolutionary biology. Social evolution of species is a different subject matter, separate from the biology and nature of species.

Actually I've heard woman gets horny the most at a particular period in a month when she has the highest chance of getting pregnant. 😆 Isn't that evolutionary too, because it's beneficial to have sex at that time.
