When I saw you were in the debate, I thought: Gee, I wonder which side she is on? So, yeah - you will lose because you already have lots of sympathy for their side. But you will lose with distinction, grace and intellectual clarity, I am quite sure!

I think you have a 30% chance of winning. This is partly because Louise Perry is very good (I don’t know Khachiyan), and partly because I think the sexual revolution has pretty clearly failed women (on average), and there has probably not been much of a net benefit even for men. My sense is that the strand of feminism that backed the sexual revolution saw equality as ‘being like men’ and didn’t adequately account for differences of preferences.
