Some commenters said they lost respect for Kirk after this debate and he got a lot of backlash.

Thoughts?

The feminist is a 20-year-old British college (Cambridge) student, Kirk is 31 and has been a political activist for 13 years.

Example 1:

Her: “So, for example, studies like the OECD's better life index show that women's life expectancy, education levels, professional achievements have risen in countries with higher gender inequality. So I would argue that what you're calling unhappiness is actually visibility because now we hear women expressing dissatisfaction whereas in the 50s we prescribed them valium and we lobotomized them”

His response:

“Um that's really rich. I didn't know women not to complain 50 years ago. That's funny. Um so we've always No, hold on a second. Why are suicide rates going up more for women? I think that encourage complaining materially women are killing themselves more. Why is that?”

Example 2:

Her:

“So I also don't think that happiness is a very good metric, and neither do you because you think gay people shouldn't just pursue happiness by being gay. They have other moralistic considerations to be making. So I don't think smiles per capita is a particularly convincing way to measure whether or not we should encourage women to be autonomous. I think we should maximize agency within a fair system that has reasonable parameters because it's expedient, it's good for the economy, it's logical, it's the moral thing because if we can't prove the material harms, we shouldn't discourage it. And also, self-reported studies is a really flawed way to do psychology.”

Him:

"But women in the West are miserable, and they have cats and jobs, while women in Sub-Saharan Africa have kids and faith. Maybe there's a biological reason they're happier."

doesn't listen while he's speaking, she's just scanning her notes and dives into another bit of gynocentric pilpul without regard to what he had to say

everyone present at that "debate" can laugh at Charlie's last point about civilizational impact because their lives haven't started yet, all they know is semitic propaganda, most in that room will live under sharia law because weak men allowed women to unsex themselves and destroy Britain's future

they're chuckling at their own demise

political correctness has completely strangled social discourse

it's a selfpwn to reference what the UN forced apes to do in Rwanda, as if they're culturally fit comparisons

perhaps he could have led with a different metric for female empowerment but c'mon the UK is a den of vipers of terminal wokeness where every definition of right and wrong thinking has been turned upside down, no one can debate fundamentalism

The point was about whether self-reported happiness surveys actually measure reality, and he dodged into a rant about Islam, which only underlined that he had nothing.

She addresses that it in this follow-up vlog:

The link drops you right at the moment she gets asked the question.

He gets away with these techniques in Amerika 99% of the time. Not in the UK, though.

she'll quietly retire from her profession in her late 20s after finding a well off man, have one child and be happy as an influencer who writes an occasional birdbrain op ed for the local paper

The style is for someone who has no interest in having a discussion and instead wants to create setups to land his punchlines. Jordan Peterson does this too.

Also she says there’s a social component to women being nurturers when it’s literally the most biological thing that there is. And he has one hand tied behind his back because “genetics, champ” is the correct answer to everything but looks bad if it’s your answer to everything. The empirical “are things worse now” works better on normies imo.

He looks tired and isn’t being Lit. He was also being threatened privately by Bill Ackman while this was going on. The light hits her and she talks fast and has a British accent. If this were a Film about Kirk being Bad this is how you’d stage it.

these students are exactly the over-socialized leftists uncle Ted described, for them getting ahead means disavowing Tradition and the faith of their fathers, it's kind of pitiful. she admitted her own misery and blamed it on exams, imo they know in their gut Kirk's position is the way but optically it appeared the opposite because a confident Brit accent boosts perceived intelligence, I think if the conversation went on another hour his arguments would shine through sincerity, like it did when he spoke with Bill Maher on the God question.

I mean yeah Jordan Peterson was pretty decent at arguing with feminists and communists but it was kind of all he did. Kirk tried to cover every subject in every venue while also having bible verses memorized. JMO, YMMV.
