Imagine the pressure on a Muslim woman to leave her religion if she marries a non-Muslim man. That pressure doesn't exist for a non-Muslim woman married to a Muslim man, so long as she agrees to raise the children as Muslims. News came out just recently of a Muslim woman who married a Hindu man, and she was abused horribly becuase she refused to become Hindu. As to the matter of men being allowed to marry non-Muslims women... yes it's allowed, but is definately not recomended and in this day and age it could really be disliked. People tend to gloss over that part of it in an attempt to make themselves feel better about marrying their non-Muslim girlfriend.
Of course, this is a free country and you can do whatever you want. You're free to marry anyone you wish, but you could be very sorry if you marry someone who doens't share youre religion.

Well, if you marry a man [Non Muslim] whom respects your religion in the sense that everyone can believe “whatever“ they want, why would there be any pressure on the woman? And as for the Muslim+hindu marriage
Allahu a3lam May God help her and strengthen her Imaan even more. [ Ameen]
*Though I agree a child needs a father whom is Muslim to look up to him, ask him certain things, imitate in manners etc.
