Don't Stop at Adoption, Get Procreating

Re: What Happens When Prill Watches the News.

2 mothers vs 1 mother.

Same lack of a male role model, twice the time and twice the affection. Ditto 2 fathers vs 1 father.

As long as the kids get a decent role model for what it is to be whatever gender they are, they're doing better than a fair proportion of the population. If it's a girl with two fathers, the deficit will likely be made up by the overbearing preponderance of women in infant and primary education. If it's a boy with two mothers, he'll face the same problem as a possible two thirds[1] of the young male African American population in the United States: no male role model, a cycle that self perpetuates.

I even have a reference:
