We can't attribute any meaning to your post unless you tell us your gender.

I think the poster is making a comparison, and is therefor presumably male.

We are on NH, so we can assume everyone's gender with reasonable accuracy...

But this type of assumption seems to have unforeseen consequences. We should question it.

Yep, it would have made no sense otherwise.

But yes, to make it explicit, i'm the father.
