The why, frame, is easy - there are countless examples where there is, for example, only a mother's influence over her youngsters. Same applies for fathers.

One can argue that both a male and female influence isn't needed for a child's development, and argue strongly at that.

Another could argue that 2 mothers or not, that doesnt exclude other male role models such as grandparents, uncles, male friends, etc.

They're but a few counterpoints to what I've raised, and I know there are many others. I'm stating my opinion, and my argument behind that (to the best of my ability) even when I know there are a number of flaws in the argument. It is, at best, weakly put forward.

I think that stems from my thoughts toward it being from a deep, emotional reaction, and as such is inexplicable to others.
