> All children need fathers

Every study I've seen on the subject has said that children of same sex parents, including having two mothers, do as well or better than their peers across any metric of wellbeing or success.



Is the implication instead that children should have two parents? Ie. Sharing the burden, more perspective and the like cause the benefits?

If so, given that most children are born of conventional couples, it makes sense to say they should have their father in their life.


The 1st comment said boys need fathers to model masculinity. And there is no advantage to say children need a father and mother if the truth is children need 2 parents. 2 parents covers more cases in fewer words.
