They've attacked the fact she's a childless woman plenty. Like if it mattered for her policies. I doubt they'll straight up attack her for just being a woman much because they still want the conservative woman vote but they'll sure as shit attack her for woman things.
Hey, that lady hasn't had kids. I haven't had kids, but that's ok because I'm a man. Fuck that bitch, she doesn't have kids, she can't be an american. /s
They’ve attacked her because she doesn’t have any biological children, not because she’s a woman. Although they may be related, the attacks were very specifically against her, not having any biological children.
Because they talk about men not having kids all the time...
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.
What?
Nobody has ever called out a male politician for not having kids. Attacking her for not having kids is literally exclusively about gender.
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.
....
So you admit your claim is nonsense.
no, they are saying you are an idiot. you not getting that is another proof.
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.
Yes, that was an idiotic claim for them to make.
Please explain how someone would prove that it doesn't exist.
We will all wait with bated breath for what will surely be a very informing answer. The stage is all yours.
All you need is one counter-example, dumbass.
I think what he is saying is sexism is at play much less than tribalism.
I dont think any sane person can say that sexism is not at play at all.
That's fair enough. Really it's a travesty at all that we have to rank what's being attacked, especially when it has nothing to do with policy.
