That, and I don't like scrolling pages at a time just to read one line comments.
Not exactly.
The bits I quoted, in summary, women naturally have a stronger attachment to their child than the fathers and they also have a natural "ethic of care" and concentrate on relationships. Women naturally think like parents and men do not, but that is not to say they cannot easily learn to do so.
My last quote in the previous post adds some insight into why there is so little written about the subject.

But your assertion was that women are better parents than men, not that women have an "ethic of care" that men lack. None of this supports the idea that men don't raise children as well as women do, just that women may initially have a stronger connection to a child.
Remember, you said that allowing gay marriage would be a bad thing because men aren't as capable of raising children as women are.
