Anyone else find it weird how articles often tend to add the parental status of the subject in the title?

Only if it's about a mother though.

I guess being a mother is considered an important life achievement, while being a father is not.

I think it's more that, for some, becoming a parent is their only life accomplishment, so "reader engagement" is literally, "hey, overlap these two circles, or the middle won't buy our crap."

You do get to be a father in news articles. Mainly when they talk about you being deceased though.
