The statement is not little controversial. It is done by Peggy Drexler, a psychologist who created a great controversy in the United States, after publicizing extensive research in which He concluded that children do not need a father for their development.
Many people believe that the correct development of a child occurs within a family composed of father and mother, but the specialist totally refutes this theory, also taking into account the number of single parents (with only women at the head) or even with two mothers that exist today.
According to Drexler, with which I agree that what matters is the quality of the upbringing of a child and not the sex of the parents who educate that child, whether male or female, “the times that a father (mother and / or father) dinner with their children is a better indication of how they will be older than the number or sex of parents at the table. Morality and masculinity are values that can be learned perfectly by being raised by a man as not. Ensures that the presence of a father is not essential for the full development of a male child, that the model of man can be acquired through other means and not only at home.
There are parents who, although they share the home, may be very absent in the upbringing of their children.
And they ask the number of women who take their children alone day by day.
His research, which is a follow-up of 60 families for 10 years, including 30 single mothers, will be published in a book in October under the title 'Raising Boys Without Men' (Raise children without men).
Detractors of the psychologist call her hating men and promoting the gay cause, but the woman has two children and has been married to the same man for 36 years.
