In what way are men gatekeepers of relationships or long-term commitments?
I disagree with that.
Most relationships end due to women leaving.
Women are the gatekeepers of relationships, sex, and family.
To be fair, if no men proposed marriage, almost no marriages would occur. If no marriages occur, almost no families would be created.
There's a reason why divorced men marry quickly.
No offense, but from what I see around me, upper-class women have just as much power as upper-class men (they pick the marriage partner and they decide if the marriage continues).
Some lower-class women are single moms anyway as low socio-economic status men are usually not good providers. Women of that category do it all in the end. So yeah, if a woman wants a kid, she can have one... she does not need a bad marriage. A man does not have the option of doing it all by himself.
Well, even if a woman is okay with having a child by herself, she will still need a man's DNA from somewhere since women don't produce children on their own. Additionally, raising a child as a single parent can get expensive so a high income source that greatly exceeds the median wage would likely be needed as well. However, most people do not make over €100k.
Also, are you not familiar with surrogacy? Some men have been going that route for some time now, and before you say "That's expensive", I ask you this: Should someone who can't afford the equivalent of a standard down payment on a €500-600k home prioritize having children, or would they be better off focusing on improving their financial situation first?
I don't know. I have noticed some women having multiple marriages too.

There's always going to be exceptions. Just like some women upload TikToks of themselves whining about how they wished they'd gotten married and had kids instead of pursuing a career, that allows them to live an independent and dignified life. That doesn't mean all women feel the same way. Just like the opposite, women regret getting married and having kids.
