Are you really trying to argue this?

Women have breasts that often times contain milk right after giving birth which she can use to feed the baby. A guy can't feed an infant without something else's milk or without formulae. Women are naturally more suited to being the primary caretaker of a child. Evolution made it that way.

From the moment of fertilization, a woman carries the baby to term, gives birth, feeds the baby naturally and takes care of the child while the male can do anything he wants. A guy can't do any that except provide food for the mother and place for her stay with the child. 

I'm not saying that women are better suited to raise kids in every situation. Some women can be horrible parents. I'm also not saying that guys can't be good parents or that they can't raise a kid by themselves. 

Is that it? Only pre birth and as a baby stuff? What about the actual raising?

You said a woman is better at raising from infant to adult. If milk is all she can offer then what benefit is that to anything other than an infant? In fact if she is still breastfeeding up until they are an adult then that's not really a good thing.

You also said the kid would be better off if raised by a woman than a man. Now I highly doubt a man would just let his baby starve, and whether other milk/formula is as good as natural breast milk is a whole nother topic. But the raise part specifically suggests a whole lot more than feeding as a baby. So yeah, how is a woman actually better at raising a child to adulthood?

Women have evolved to be the main caretaker for children. That's why I listed those examples to show my point to you. They're wired for it mentally and emotionally. Before they're even teenagers, they dream of having babies. Males for the most part don't ever think about having babies til a woman says she's pregnant or when he's trying to have one. So you're asking me to prove the accepted belief on which gender is better suited (overall) to raise a kid?  I wasn't even expecting someone to actually debate me on this.  The vast majority of the judges in the US will rule in favor of the woman over the guy in custody battles. 

Women by default are better at raising kids than guys. That doesn't mean that a gay couple shouldn't raise a kid or that single guys shouldn't raise a kid by himself. 

You're the one challenging the most common held belief in the world that women are considered the best suited for raising a child. The burden of proof is really on you.
