| So I thought I'd share some thoughts on the debate because I'm not happy with it and I think a lot of it's my fault. | |
| In fact, probably all of that's my fault. | |
| And so I just thought I'd ramble off some thoughts just to let you know what I was thinking, I guess, and see what you think about it as well. | |
| Because I've really appreciated everyone who's been – I mean, it's nice to have lots of support, but it's even nicer when you've got the people who are actually leaving thoughtful and, like, incisive comments that are a critique of what you've done, an honest critique. | |
| Even if they feel like the voice in the wilderness, please don't stop doing that, guys, because it's more valuable than I can adequately explain, I think. | |
| But yeah, no, they're right. | |
| Some people have pointed out that it really wasn't the best showing I could have done at all. | |
| And I should have kept my cool a bit more. | |
| was quite frustrated that she wasn't answering the question directly but that's no excuse I shouldn't have I shouldn't have got angry about it I could probably have handled the debate a bit better as well. | |
| Just the actual debate a bit. | |
| I was a bit nervous about it. | |
| I'm not going to lie. | |
| It's the first time I've done anything like this. | |
| And I think I may have overprepared somewhat. | |
| Yeah, I looking back and said, what was I doing? | |
| I should have made a bit more concise of an introduction and then just responded directly to her points, obviously. | |
| More thoroughly. | |
| Yeah, didn't go about it the right way. | |
| Okay, lesson learned. | |
| Don't get me wrong, the question didn't help. | |
| And I think that may have been my problem with it. | |
| But that's something I should have fixed. | |
| It's not, you know, I could have been more specific. | |
| I should have recognised earlier on that she was taking the approach that all women's rights activism is feminism, because I'm not sure that feminism is necessarily responsible for everything she was saying, and I should have thought about it as I was going along, but I didn't. | |
| But yeah, I shouldn't have got frustrated by the end and been a bit of a dick. | |
| So I apologise for that. | |
| I shouldn't have done that. | |
| But yeah, so there are definitely things. | |
| I mean, maybe I should have made more of an issue about how I'm not refuting social science because I've never spent my money on a social science course. | |
| I should have been more specific about it was the social scientists who were doing the studies specifically talking about social science. | |
| But again, that's not really here nor there. | |
| She wasn't right on that issue anyway, was she? | |
| There are probably other things, but I can't think of them off the top of my head. | |
| But if you do have criticism, do leave it down below and I will be reading them. | |
| Because my channel's a learning experience and always has been. | |
| And I hope it's a learning experience for everyone watching it. | |
| You know, I think I do. | |
| I genuinely think one of the things that people end up watching my videos for is because they are kind of learning along with me. | |
| That's how I've always viewed it. | |
| It's like, you know, there's this weird thing that doesn't make any sense and isn't internally consistent. | |
| But let's try and figure it out. | |
| And so, and I hope it comes across that way as well. |
