So the man is essentially being held hostage by giving something of value.

That's not a great start to a marriage

And why doesn't she have to do the same

Exactly. Once the woman is pregnant, she’s all-in unless she has access to an abortion (and she’s okay with having one).

Plenty of times the guy has been all-in right up until the moment he becomes a father, then he bails. If he has no financial stake in the relationship either then there’s nothing holding him to the marriage except his word and his feelings, both of which can be broken.

Single motherhoods is ridiculously common these days. I think a big part of the reason why is that tradition and commitment are dying out, and marriages based on romance are dying along with them.
