Why do you make this issue gendered, and if you do why would it impact only men father of illegitimate children, and not cheating mothers ?

The mother will already be connected to the child. The father is what would be needing tracking down.

I mean, wasn't that completely obvious?

Cause in the case of cheating mother, it is clear she is the mother. And to confirm fatherhood of husband or partner, no external registry is needed or helpful.
