- I see a problem with families with mixed-sex parents. The children
- will have less of an opportunity to see female-female and male-male
- behaviour. Of course, the family way well have friends and other
- relatives who fall into this category.
-
- In fact, I see another problem with families with only 2 parents.
- The children once again may have less of an opportunity to behaviour
- that does not conform to the monogamous default.
