How important do you feel male figures are in parenting?

My female cousin is married to woman. She is pregnant with a boy. I don't know where he will get male role models....as the father is not in the picture. I just want what is best for her, but I think it will create confusion. Maybe her dad will be the major influence here.

@MissMollyCharlotte0702 Hence why I'd said "male figure" PlumBerries failed at the interpretation, though. Personally, I do feel they're important.. I do believe it gives children a complex otherwise... and yes, things do get confused.
