Crazy how me and Jen both got warned/suspended itt for saying that men do a certain thing more often than women tbh

That's not what you and Jen got modded for.

Witness the fact that both adjl and I have *also* said that men are statistically more likely to be sexual predators than women - in fact, no one in this topic has contested that fact at all - yet neither of us got modded.

We do it with adoption. Aka we don't just hand off kids to single men. Ever.

Unless you're talking about private adoption agencies, this isn't true.

For public adoption systems in the English-speaking west, no consideration is given towards marital status or sex. A single man is treated exactly the same as a single woman (or a married couple, for that matter) - they have to pass the same background checks and home inspections, have to file all the same paperwork and pay all the same fees, etc. For cases where the birth parent(s) are still in the picture, they have the right to choose who gets their kid and couples are generally favoured over single parents of either sex, but there is no ban in any western country I'm familiar with that prohibits single men from adopting.

Private adoption agencies can set whatever restrictions they like. Some only accept married couples (and sometimes only heterosexual ones), some require you to be a practicing member of a specific religion, so on and so forth. But they don't account for all adoptions.

Honestly, if your logic held that men are simply too risky to ever be considered caregivers, no single father would ever get custody of his kids and no gay couple would ever be permitted to adopt. Yet neither of those things are true.
