[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  I never said that having men around is irrelevant.  I'm not an idiot.  I know it's important.  I said that the question is irrelevant, because of the context in which it is asked in most cases.  As if more men were around him, then this wouldn't be an issue.  [/quote]

You are reading too much into things which just aren't there.

One poster asked what his father thought.

No one said that a man in his life will fix anything.

To act like having a same gender roll model in a child's life is irrelevant is simply incorrect.

The man could be a gay guy who is secure in who he is.  It could be a grandpa, who shows him how loving, kind men are and who thinks he is amazing, no matter what.  It could be a masculine uncle that shows him that it is okay to be a guy, whatever kind of guy he is, and that confident men do not make others feel bad for who they are, even if who the kid is is very unconventional.

There is value to a man teaching a boy how to be a man.  It doesn't have to be society's typical man.  It likely matters more if your son is going to live the life you think he will live.
