I specifically said "materially and emotionally", and you decided to stop at money. Interesting.
Fine. Are money and "emotions" adequate substitutes for a father? Can women deliver emotionally the same thing men can? Can a woman be a father?
emotionally? really? perhaps if they live in a vacuum. but things have not yet deteriorated to the point where a child born to two women won't be noticed and have some stigma attached to it. oh i know, you think it's because people like me, who disapprove and lament this situation, are the reason that there is stigma. but it truly is the lack of stigma that has caused the deterioration of things to the point they are now. i know the moral relativists long for the values neutral utopia when everyone can do what they please and be lauded for it. i lament how close we have come to that thus far.
