So, I actually agree with my opponent's stance. I think women are typically better caregivers than men. However, I took the Con side, and they only have one piece of evidence which supports their argument.
So, in rebuttal to your C1 points:
1) Preferring to stay home has nothing to do with whether or not you’re good at raising children
2) Wanting less hours or taking off from work has nothing to do with whether or not you’ll be a good parent
The quoted evidence isn’t bad, but your argument isn’t great. It could use some work. In addition, this, on it’s own, isn’t evidence that women are better at raising children. It’s evidence that women do it more than men. Doing more of something might not mean they’re better at it. I would argue it is, but I’m not going to tell you how to make your arguments, only that you should maybe work on them.
"Because mothers are more willing to spend time and attention on housework and childcare, we surely must conclude that it is better for these noble women to raise the youngest members of society: children."
This is not a good point. The point you would want to make is, "Because women are more naturally inclined to want to spend more time with their children, they will have more practice raising their children, and rapidly outpace men in child-rearing experience."
Being willing to do something is not the reason they would be good at it. Spending more time doing it is why they would be better (you can't use my argument though, voters beware).
C2.
"Women prefer working with people and men prefer working with things and objects on average and this is one of the biggest psychological differences between men and women. And because of this tendency, it should follow that women would be better suited raising children than men."
It does not follow. Preferences have nothing to do with how good you are at something. Just because you would prefer to be or do something doesn’t necessarily mean you’d be better at it. I might prefer being a fisherman over being a writer, and a fisherman might prefer being a writer over a fisherman. Odds are, the fisherman is better at fishing than I am, and I am better at writing, and it has nothing to do with our preferences.
Your point on violence is a good one, I have to grant that.
"Given all these points, I believe that on average, it would be better if women raise the children."
Still, you’ve otherwise given no statistical analyses of why women would be better at rearing children. You’ve only given evidence that women would prefer raising children more than men would prefer it, and you mentioned that women are more likely to do more child-rearing, or more likely to take more time off for it--and, like, you can totally use my argument, I was just messing with you--but didn't provide a satisfactory argument to prove why this is an effective point.
However, I'm actually going to give you an ultimatum. I will concede at the end of Round 3, but only if you can provide better and better arguments. If you can't knock this argument out of the park by Round 3, I'm gonna try going for the win. Round 2, I'll see what you have and try to see what critiques would help you best.
I'm so tired of getting unvoted ties when I clearly win debates.
