Should we assume it's always the female partner who wants to have a child and the male who doesn't?

Of course not, I was talking in the context of the parent post which I assume was made by a male.

You correctly assumed that I am male, but incorrectly assumed that am heterosexual, not that it matters. I'd like to echo what Locaha said.

((Unbeknownst to the perp, the term "fiance" he so unwittingly used ("girlfriend/fiance/wife") typically referred to a male. Little did he know that not only would others miss that inclusion of the correct scenario, but that he himself would as well.))
