Are you a parent yourself?
Are you implying my point is invalid if I'm not? That's called ad hominem.
Respond to the point made, not the person making it.
That isn't an ad hominem. That would be if they called you stupid. It's actually a very reasonable discussion point to ask if you have personal experience with this topic. This is a situation where having kids is probably important to make a well reasoned argument.
Kind of ironic how you - instead of responding to the question asked - went into attack mode. There was no attack in there at all. In order to respond to the point made, it's important to know if it is a point made from personal experience (as a parent) or from a theoretical standpoint of a non-parent. It does not invalidate the point itself, yet changes it's perspective.
My answers will be different if there's a fellow parent with different life experiences than me or if there is someone who's seen parenthood more from the outside. Both change nothing regarding the validity, yet your reaction to a dentist telling something about teeth would be different than your reaction to a maths teacher telling you something about teeth, wouldn't it?
No, it wouldn't, because that would be judging the statement based on the person making it, which is ad hominem.
When COVID was here and everyone was saying to wear a mask, were you one of the ones saying "you're not a doctor"?
