Some single parents are male but, as you have just pointed out, they are in a small minority.

The majority are women.

It may take two to make a baby but, I agree with Neil, if the woman doesn't want a baby it is down to her to make sure it doesn't happen.

It is much easier for a man to desert his responsibilities for a baby than it is for a woman. A man can scarper as soon as two blue lines appear on the pregnancy test.

Not so for a woman.
