Two teenagers got together for a one night stand, which in Western culture has become tragically normalised. behaviour.. .the female did not have to take on parenting duties, as you put it, she made the choice of becoming a mother, regardless of the feelings rights and views of the male. So why condemn him for refusing to be pressured into a life long relationship and a responsibility he made clear he was not ready for? The person who is being selfish in this situation is the 18 year old woman, trying to force fatherhood on him.
