regular.joe, I would like you to prove you have never punched a woman in the face.

You can't prove it beyond a doubt, because there is no evidence to back you up--there is only a lack of evidence that you've ever done it, and a lack of evidence doesn't prove that it never happened. This sort of scenario is what is meant by "you can't prove a negative."
