Raise a boy to become a man? A female friend and I go back and forth on this issue. With 60% of marriages ending these days there are quite a few single mothers out there. I tend to think there are certain things that a woman could never teach a boy, at some point a strong male figure would have to be in his life.

As much as I care for gay rights I guess I would have to say that two women raising a boy could never be as effective as 1 male figure. Agree or Disagree?


edit: preface this by saying a woman can raise a boy.. I agree with that but raising a boy to become a man is something totally different.
