    Humans naturally try to mimic other people that are like them in their environment. Can boys become happy and decent humans without a male role model? Absolutely.

    However, lots of studies have shown that a lack of good same sex role model usually have a negative impact on young people that lasts into adulthood.

    And let’s be real, fathers abandon their children a lot more than mothers, so that affects young boys a lot more than young girls.
