I agree with you on both parts. When you're six years old a person not having a mum is strange concept to deal with if you have one, never mind a person having two dads. People always slag off other people, this is as "good" a reason as any - I've seen kids slag people off because their dad left their mum, and what-not.

The other thing is, in Human Biology right now, we're learning about birth and infant development. Practically everywhere it is talking about the bond between a mother and her child, but not the father. He's rarely mentioned at all.

And as far as I know, it's quite hard for a man to lactate - everyone knows there are benefits to breast milk rather than the artificial stuff (in the first few weeks after birth the mother's breast milk actually contains a high amount of antibodies, which are important so the baby doesn't get seriously ill).
