    They certainly make it as difficult as possible for game to adopt children.

    Stop trying to make this simple and black-and-white as they want you to think it is. They’re playing into their bullshit.

        Nobody has ever called out a male politician for not having kids.

        You don’t know that. And if you’re claiming that’s a fact, then prove it.

        When you have to invent things just to make your point, you can’t have a very good point.

              How do you go about proving a lack of evidence? If I claim that there are no bears living on the moon, and you demand proof, how can I possibly provide sufficient proof of a lack of bears?

                I’m not the one who made the ridiculous claim, so proving it isn’t my problem. Why don’t you take it up with the person who made it?

                  You truly aren’t understanding why your position is nonsensical, and that’s hilarious to me.

                  In my example, if you were to disagree with the claim that bears aren’t living on the moon, then the only way to prove one way or the other is to show evidence that bears do live on the moon. That’s not my claim, so I’m not charged with finding evidence that bears live on the moon. If you want my proof that they don’t, my proof is that there is no evidence that bears do live on the moon. There’s no reason to believe that they do. That’s as far as a null can be proven. Just look at all the following evidence I’ve found in all my long searching for evidence of bears living on the moon:

                  Convinced?

                  For the actual argument here, the claim is that nobody criticize male politicians for not having children. You said prove that nobody has done that. Well, there’s no reporting of that criticism, so what, you want a link that goes to 404: page not found? To discredit that claim, you need to prove the negative; find a criticism of a male politician for not having children. If you can’t find it, then you haven’t refuted the claim.
