j8ear, I can see where you are coming from, but sometimes it is just not possible to have a father/male in the house. There are many circumstances, either by choice or by chance, that a single parent will raise a child/children in a home, being either a sole mum or a sole dad.
I think you are putting too much weight into your views because if a child is missing either influence, there are usually others that can help fill the gap. A grandparent, friend, or neighbour.
I think it's a cultural conditioning in which you find only one view being ideal. I'm sure it's been mentioned before, but for instance, in small villages the community will raise the young, the ideal of a mother and father is not as important or the same as we find them in our current society.
