i don't think that they are saying that girls don't need father figures. i think they are saying that the perception among some males is that boys need father figures moreso than girls.
just look at how certain parts of society put the black man on a pedestal even if he is doing wrong. back in the day many black women did not report sex crimes b/c "you don't bring a black man down he has enough enemies."
also in many societies, i.e. China, boys are more valued than girls because they continue the family name and bring in a daughter, whereas girls leave the family.
i'm glad that someone is reporting on this so that we can learn to pay more attention to our little girls.
