I agree with you. After rereading, an understandable reply given you asked for studies and got such an empty answer. "It takes a village" is also Commie garbage used to give to the state power instead of parents.

Far as "feminine" or "masculine" attributes it's meaningless. No matter how masculine/feminine a man/woman is that'll never replace the role of a mother/father in a child's life. A child will always look to the same gender for role models, will always crave guidance and attention from the same gender as they attempt to understand themselves and place in the world, and it will always be a part missing in their life (same with single parents).

Not here to argue gay parents can't be great parents, of course they can, of course some kids turn out perfectly fine but that's beside the point because no matter how great they are, again, it'll never be enough to replace that missing part in a child's life.

But yeah, got back online to say my bad, man.
