I lost a Debate over Feminism... I got pwnd
You can't win every battle and last night I laid a massive turd. I was not prepped enough, I did not do enough research prior or have citations and articles ready. So I lost fair and square. I will take this as a lesson to do a better job getting ready for my debates on Qallout because obviously I can't just wing it with no notes versus people who debate topics regularly and come prepared. I was in the right with the argument I was making I just did a poor job of making the argument and my opponent did a far better job of going on the offensive. I won't make these mistakes again.
His sources were all crap and I should have made a better attack on that, citing CNN and Washington Journal is not the basis for a winning debate, and I just forgot to address that he was using fake news sources and skewed statistics to make his point. I should have made that a topic of discussion.
One major issue I had and my opponent cleverly started his argument off with this is I had to try and limit the debate to modern feminism, I knew this before it started. Obviously I would agree that egalitarian rights for men and women is better for the world, women should have every right and freedom men have. However in America women already have equal rights, and the modern feminist movement is about empowering women over men, and has massively contributed to the breakdown of the family unit, increasing divorce rates and so forth. I was unsuccessful at limiting the debate to mainly being about the Modern American Feminist movement, and the Western Feminist movement. By making it about the global idea of feminism rather than what we see in the world as the modern feminist movement my opponent was able to win the debate because he never had to address the FACT that modern feminism movements are not fighting for equality they are fighting for DNC and liberal agendas.
I should have stuck more to the topic, but I trailed off into the larger bigger picture of how modern feminism ties into the global control structure of the New World Order. I focused too much on the bigger picture, on how feminism was created by the Rockefeller's to tax women. I should have steered clear of this bigger picture stuff because I did not have the adequate time to fully explain it. Lesson learned here is stay focused on the limited debate topic and don't get into the bigger picture stuff in a 30 minute debate, where I only have 15 mins to speak, in 3 minute clips.
So sorry fans, I made a mistake and showed up at a gun fight with a knife. Next time I debate I will bring forth a better researched debate and a more effective strategy.
So as it stands now I am 2-1 in head to head Qallout debates. The vote is still up, but I am losing like 72% to 24% so I am calling it. The most important thing to me is I won the PizzaGate debate, and I won the debate about life after death, two topics I care far more about.
Anyways the link to the completed debate is here, I am not sure if you can still vote or not on who won the debate but there was only like 45 votes, so if you can it may still yet to be decided, however I am pretty sure after listening to it twice that I deserved to lose this one because my opponent did a better job than I did at arguing my points. So I unfortunately for like the first time ever online I got pwnd...
So by taking a loss I learned a valuable lesson in preparation and possibly picking topics, as this topic was not really something I could argue against, I had to narrow the debate to win it, which put me at a disadvantage immediately.
I will learn from this Loss and do better next time.
I don't expect to win every argument, (well actually yes I do) however sometimes you have to take a loss to learn and make yourself a better debater, so that one day I could be a...
Master Debater
